For patients with more than 1,000 PVCs per day, the risk of developing left ventricular systolic dysfunction after 5 years follow-up is low. Frequent PVCs may increase the risk of developing cardiomyopathy, which can greatly impair heart function. A PVC burden greater than 10% is the minimal threshold for development of PVC-induced cardiomyopathy.
Frequent multifocal PVCs (both singly and in pairs) and left atrial enlargement. (BOTTOM): Same patient about 5 months later status-post orthotopic heart transplant. Dilated cardiomyopathy on CXR Dilated cardiomyopathy on CT. Generalized enlargement of the heart is seen upon normal chest X-ray.
When the atrial rhythm is irregular (as in atrial fibrillation or sinus arrhythmia) the presence of bigeminy depends on the length of the P–P interval and happens more frequently with a longer interval. As with post PVC pauses, a longer P–P interval leads to a higher chance of re-entrant circuits and thus PVCs.
Research shows that people who eat the most fiber cut their risk of dying from any cause by 23% compared to those who eat the least fiber. And fiber is especially important for heart health.
Ectopic beat is a disturbance of the cardiac rhythm frequently related to the electrical conduction system of the heart, in which beats arise from fibers or group of fibers outside the region in the heart muscle ordinarily responsible for impulse formation (i.e., the sinoatrial node).
This condition was first discovered in 1992 by Stoll et al, when they described 6 members belonging to a 3-generation French family. They had ventricular extrasystoles that presented itself with syncopal episodes associated with multifocal tachycardia, aplastic/hypoplastic distal phalanges of the toes (a phenomenon Stoll et al. described as perodactyly), Pierre Robin Sequence, a condition ...

Multifocal atrial tachycardia is characterized by an electrocardiogram (ECG) strip with three or more discrete P wave morphologies in the same lead, not including that originating from the sinoatrial node, plus tachycardia, which is a heart rate exceeding 100 beats per minute (although some suggest using a threshold of 90 beats per minute ...
