Bigeminy is an abnormal heart rhythm where every other beat is abnormal. This can be an abnormal atrial beat (atrial bigeminy), a beat arising from the AV junction or bundle of His (junctional bigeminy), or a ventricular beat (ventricular bigeminy).

The pattern is as such:

Normal beat... abnormal beat... normal beat.... abnormal beat... normal beat... abnormal beat... repeat.

What is constant PVC bigeminy?

Constant PVC bigeminy is a type of cardiac arrhythmia characterized by the presence of a pattern where a normal heartbeat is followed by a premature ventricular contraction (PVC) consistently, resulting in a recurring rhythm of one normal beat followed by one PVC. This pattern can be identified on an electrocardiogram (ECG) and may indicate underlying heart disease or irritation of the heart muscle. While often benign in healthy individuals, persistent bigeminy may require further evaluation, especially if accompanied by symptoms like palpitations or dizziness. Management typically focuses on addressing any underlying conditions and monitoring the patient's heart health.
