How Concerning Is One PVC Couplet In 24 Hours?
Question: How concerning is one PVC couplet in 24 hours?
My stress echo came back normal if that has any significance.
Dear Fela,
Thanks for writing in.
First off all, take a XXXXXXX breath :)
I can imagine how scary it is to have any kind of abnormality of heart rhythm..
However, PVCs in young people do happen somewhat frequently and are rarely a cause for concern. In fact, they can happen in most people every once in a while and we don't even know it.
In your case, you have had PVC couplets once in 24 hours. It's completely a normal phenomenon. Moreover, your stress ECHO is normal. Therefore, the is no evidence any ischemia. Hence, there is absolutely no cause of concern.
Please be reassured that you have a healthy heart.
Do get back if you need any furher information.
Thanks and Regards.
