Ventricular Premature Contractions

心内科

Common symptoms

尺动脉或桡动脉...、心音异常、晕厥、要利琴、栗东、心悸、心绞痛

The pathology of disease

Ventricular premature contractions (VPCs, PVCs) are premature beats originating from the ventricles, common and often benign. Treatment: reassurance if isolated/asymptomatic; beta-blocker for symptomatic; evaluate underlying structural heart disease (echo); catheter ablation for frequent VPCs (>10%/day) causing symptoms or tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy; treat electrolyte imbalance/ischemia.

Common Symptoms

Palpitations/skipped beats; often asymptomatic; frequent VPCs may cause cardiomyopathy; by unifocal/multifocal

Causes and Pathogenesis

Enhanced automaticity/reentry in ventricles causes premature beats.

Treatment

Reassurance if benign; beta-blocker for symptoms; echo to rule out structural disease; ablation for frequent/cardiomyopathy

Preventive Measures

Avoid stimulants; correct electrolytes; treat ischemia.

Department to Visit
