Overview

Premature ventricular contraction can occur due to activation of the sympathetic nervous system and the common risk factors are anxiety, physiological stress etc. Patient with copper deficiency are also prone to PVCs.

Risk Factors

• Chocolate
• Caffeine
• Calcium/magnesium imbalance
• Dehydration
• Alcohol
• Exercise
• Hormonal imbalance
• Hypercapnia (CO₂ poisoning)
• Vagal hyperstimulation
• Lack of sleep/exhaustion
• Overeating
• Copper deficiency
• Monosodium glutamate (MSG)
