Premature Ventricular Contractions

Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVC) are extra heartbeats that start in the lower chambers of the heart, called ventricles, instead of the upper chambers. This can make the heart feel like it's skipping a beat or fluttering. While occasional PVCs are common and not usually serious, frequent PVCs or underlying heart disease may require treatment to prevent complications. If you experience symptoms or have concerns about PVCs, it's important to talk to a doctor for guidance and support.
