Q: cardiologist said i have supraventicular ectopic beats from24hr holter 4yrs ago i think i now have nsvt <3sec few times a year significant in my case?

NSVT usually means: Non Sustained Ventricular Tachycardia. Is that what you mean? If you do then you should stay on your beta blocker to reduce the risk for sustained arrhythmia. In addition if you are symptomatic you should consider EP to ablate the focus and resolve your symptoms. If you mean something other than Ventricular tachycardia you would still benefit from EP evaluation and continued beta blocker.

Q: paroxysm few second bursts of svt couple times a year asymptomatic accurate idea?on 24holter recorded odd supraventicular ectopic beats few yrs ago ,

Not certain what: your questions are with the above statement. What do you mean by accurate idea? Without seeing the recordings we can not give you an accurate idea of what was found. Schedule a consultation and attach appropriate records for a more thorough evaluation.

Q: are normal 30 ectopic beats a day for a 19 year old?

: How does any test apply to me? To answer that it should be understood that tests results are taken into account with the things the patients, says, the examination, lab tests, and all other diagnostic tests. See a doctor

Q: does bp has anything to do with ectopic beats? mainly atrial?

BP: BP elevation can be associated with ectopic beats.

Q: if ectopic beats were caused by pericarditis will the ectopic beats go away if pericarditis is treated?

: Premature beats caused by pericarditis will usually cease when the inflammatory episode resolves. It's important to have a careful evaluation by a cardiologist who can perform the necessary history, physical exam, echocardiogram, EKG, chest X-rays and arrange the special lab tests which can help determine the underlying cause of inflammation. This will enable accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Q: i started getting 3 or 4 ectopic beats in a row even though i am taking bisoprolol 2,5 once a day. is there anything i can do to stop them?

Yes: Avoid caffeine, smoking, stimulants, alcohol and diminish stress if possible :) Worrying about it does not help either.

Q: are ectopic beats associated with positional changes (eg bending down or lying on front) a cause for concern in a structurally normal heart?

Ectopics: It could. Change in position sometimes stimulate vagus nerve which slows down the natural rhythm . This can lead to ectopic firing. Most of the time, in a normal heart , these ectopics are of no concern.

Q: how many ectopic beats a day are a concern?

: If you have a structurally normal heart, it is said that anything below 10,000 beats or 10% in burden over 24 hours is typically fairly safe and will not lead to any long-term consequences on your heart.

Question 1

is supraventricular ectopic beats flurry of extremely fast beats in 6-8 inbetween beats?dont get often! none
on betablockers cardio said "normal"true?

Accepted Answer

Ask ten of your: friends if they experience the same symptoms. If more than 5 do it might be "normal." The fact that beta blockers suppress them should suggest to you that they are not normal otherwise at least some of the ten would also be on beta blockers to suppress their "normal" beats. I think you need to have them defined (diagnosed) and then treated. Beta blockers can be a treatment but EP could be cure.

Question 2

could supraventricular ectopic beats be the trigger of nocturnal sinus tacycardia with normal rythm i get from time to time while off of
betablockers?

Accepted Answer

It is unlikely that: ectopic beats would trigger sinus tachycardia however it is possible that ectopic beats could trigger other forms of supra ventricular tachycardia both relatively slow or fast runs that might mimic sinus tachycardia. Beta blockers would be reasonably effective at suppressing these ectopic rhythms.
