Premature Ventricular Contractions
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Premature ventricular contractions, abbreviated as PVCs, are extra heartbeats that originate in the ventricles and appear earlier than expected within the heart's normal rhythm.
Which specialist handles it? The cardiologist is the professional who studies heart rhythm disturbances and determines whether these beats require follow-up.
Common symptoms: Many people feel nothing, but others describe the sensation of a "flip" in the chest, palpitations, or a beat that seems to skip.
When to seek care? It is a good idea to seek an evaluation when these sensations are frequent, or are accompanied by dizziness, shortness of breath, or chest discomfort. Discussing the case with a professional helps clarify the cause and provide the appropriate follow-up.
