Overview

Premature ventricular contraction patients may have no symptom at all or may present with exercise intolerance and chest pain. Sometimes patients may present with a non specific feeling of forceful beat which might need the use of Holter monitor to pick up PVCs.

History and Symptoms

Although there are many signs and symptoms associated with PVCs, PVCs may have no symptom at all. An isolated PVC is hard to catch without the use of a Holter monitor. PVCs may be perceived as a skipped heart beat, a strong beat, or a feeling of suction in the chest. They may also cause chest pain, a faint feeling, fatigue, or hyperventilation after exercise. Several PVCs in a row becomes a form of ventricular tachycardia (VT), which is a potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmia.

Some other possible symptoms of PVCs:

  • Shortness of breath
  • Dizziness
  • Feeling your heart beat (palpitations)
  • Feeling of occasional, forceful beats
  • Increased awareness of your heart beat

Overview

The majority of patients with [disease name] are asymptomatic.

OR

The hallmark of [disease name] is [finding]. A positive history of [finding 1] and [finding 2] is suggestive of [disease name]. The most common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]. Common symptoms of [disease] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]. Less common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].

History and Symptoms

  • The majority of patients with PVC are asymptomatic.

History

Patients with [disease name]] may have a positive history of:

  • [History finding 1]
  • [History finding 2]
  • [History finding 3]

Common Symptoms

Common symptoms of PVCs include:

  • Irregular heart beats sensation (skipped heart beat, a strong beat, or a feeling of suction in the chest)
  • Dizziness
  • Chest pain
  • Faint
  • Fatigue
  • Other symptoms of heart failure

Less Common Symptoms

Less common symptoms of [disease name] include

  • Syncope
  • Hypotension

2017 AHA/ACC/HRS Guideline for Management of Patients with Ventricular Arrhythmias and the Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Class I
1. Patients presenting with syncope for which VA is documented, or thought to be a likely cause, should be hospitalized for evaluation, monitoring, and management(Level of Evidence: B-NR).[2][3]
