Question 1

i had a stress test came out perfect healthy heart but i still get pvcs when relaxing, exercising and post exercise. are these dangerous?

Accepted Answer

No.: Pvc's are often the sign of a healthy heart that is responding in real time to neurohormonal input.  Everyone has these.

Question 2

sudden onset of pvcs (4-6/minute) for 40 minutes, then totally gone. wasn't exercising. no stimulants or alcohol. could this happen in a healthy heart?

Accepted Answer

Yes : This can happen in structurally normal hearts. Usually, the PVCs are from the outflow tracts (right or left outflow tract). It's not uncommon for the PVCs to come and go with variable frequency and duration.

Question 3

if you have a healthy heart structurally but get benign pvcs is it safe to take clarithromycin? my qt is 380 at heart rate 60.

Accepted Answer

Clarithryomycin: According to nih article the risk factors for prolonged QT with clarithromycin are the following: femal sex, elderly, heart disease, suspected congenital prolonged QT syndrome. For a younger person without a congenital QT problem the risk of of prolonged QT problem is less than one per 100,000 according to recent study. Given you are 28 and I assume otherwise healthy should not be a problem.

Question 4

thank you. my 24hr holter showed 1700 pvcs. i was told my echocardiogram showed a healthy heart, & i passed a stress test (non-nuclear). still worried?

Accepted Answer

No: These irregularities are benign require no treatmet

Question 5

when i was a late teen i rarely ever got (or felt?) a pvc now 10 years later i feel them a lot almost everyday! normal healthy heart and labs+ why?

Accepted Answer

PVCs: You may have a problem with the conductive heart system. You may need to have cardiac monitoring (king of hearts) to find out what's going on as far as what kind of arrhythmia you have and what causes it. Then you will need cardiac work up such as echocardiogram, etc. I think you should start with cardiology consult.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily.: This may be due to anxiety, stress, excess caffeine, smoking to certain heart conditions.You may want to consult  your M.D.

Accepted Answer

Question 9

can a few teaspoons of caffeine powder kill a 20 year old with a healthy heart?

Accepted Answer

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Fairly common: A conservative estimate of frequency is that vanishing twin syndrome occurs in 21-30% of multifetal pregnancies. More commonly identified now that first trimester ultrasound is widely used. There are no known preventive measures since the loss usually occurs because of cord implantation abnormalities.
