Background/aim Frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) have historically been regarded as benign in structurally ...
Your heart is responsible for pumping blood and oxygen throughout your body. The heart performs this function by expanding and contracting. This movement is what produces your heartbeat. Your ...
The diagnosis is sinus rhythm with interpolated premature ventricular complexes, in a trigeminal pattern, with retrograde concealed conduction. The rhythm is irregular, but there is a repeating ...
The diagnosis is sinus rhythm, with acute inferior wall ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), ventricular triplet (nonsustained monomorphic VT), premature ventricular complex, R-on-T ...
In the last few weeks, the Skeptical Cardiologist has had a run on with patients with premature atrial contractions (PACs). I've discussed in detail premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) here and ...
Background A 44-year-old female presented with a long history of chest pain, palpitations and increasing dyspnea. Electrocardiography and 24 h Holter monitoring revealed multiple premature ventricular ...
In a normal heart rhythm, your heart beats in a steady, even way. The upper part of your heart (atria) squeezes and pushes blood to the lower part (ventricles), pumping blood and oxygen out to the ...
Background A 25-year-old woman experienced three episodes of syncope over the course of 2 years. The attacks all occurred just after she had sat down, and two were accompanied by convulsions. She had ...
Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are extra heartbeats originating from the heart’s lower chambers, potentially causing palpitations or fluttering sensations. While occasional PVCs are common, ...
