Question 1

what causes multiform pvcs? and are they dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Multiple foci: Multiform pvcs are premature ventricular contractions originating from different parts of the ventricle. Each point-of-origin will have a unique form on an ekg. This can be dangerous if it causes tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. If this is you, you should be under the care of a cardiologist.

Question 2

are wpw and multiform pvcs dangerous when you have them together.?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: There are a couple of issues here: many people could mistake pacs with abnormal conduction for pvcs.  Wpw is not by itself a problem with the lower chamber, so the pvcs should not imply any more danger than pvcs by themselves.  That said, some conditions are associated with both WPW and pvcs and require further evaluation.  I recommend a visit with a skilled electrophysiologist.

Question 3

i have had pvcs for most of my life. now i have high blood pressure too. are the multiform pvcs dangerous now?

Accepted Answer

Pvc's in themselves: Are not dangerous- perhaps a holster 24 hour monitor is indicated see pcp.

Question 4

multiform pvc couplets, mostly structurally normal heart with a dilated right ventricle (3cm rvidias-d). is this dangerous? total load of pvcs is low (20-ish/day). is a dilated right ventricle of this size dangerous (lvidias-d is 4.3cm?

Accepted Answer

: If the PVC's have a LBBB pattern they are emanating from the dilated right ventricle. This may be potentially dangerous arrythmogenic  right ventricular cardiomyopathy.  Even though you're not experiencing many 
PVC's, multiform PVC's are considered more dangerous than uniform PVC's. I strongly recommend that you be evaluated &amp; followed by a cardiologist electrophysiologist for best advice &amp;care

Question 5

22yo m extreme tachy, low hr, high hr, missed beat, irregular hr pair pvt multiform pvc, non sustain vt, pause. what could be the cause? 197+ at rest

Accepted Answer

SVT: Sounds like a so-called supra ventricular tachycardia, which has several possible underlying causes. Consult your cardiologist. It may be controllable with a drug such as verapamil or may require electrophysiologic intervention.

Question 6

what is the difference between multiform and multi focal pvcs?

Accepted Answer

Mutiform/multifocal: They are different names for the same thing. When they were originally named it meant vpcs of different morphologies. Strict usage of the names would mean one has different appearance and the other has different anatomic source, either accounting for the variation in appearance.

Question 7

i have multiform pvcs. i am seeing an ep he says they are benign, but they scare me. should i get a second opinion? i'm scared it will turn vt or vf

Accepted Answer

Mult. PVCs: Electrophysiologists deal with this every day. I guess if he feels confident you may trust him. If you still feel insecure go for the second opinion with all the pertinent documentation or tests done.

Question 8

multiform pvcs.....all tests normal. whatis the treatment?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you have had tests done to show no coronary artery disease(stress test), and no heart valve or heart muscle disease (such as an echocardiogram ), frequently no treatment for multifocal pvc's is necessary.If, however, you have significant symptoms, such as marked palpitations or fainting, medications such as beta blockers can be used.Your doctor can decide this for you.

Question 9

can you have an ablation for multi focal and multiform pvcs?

Accepted Answer

Ablation: Ablation is not usually highly successful in treating these pvcs.

Question 10

why can you have an ablation for multiform and multi focal pvcs?

Accepted Answer

Ablation: Hi, i think I answer your question last night, PVCs could cause dizziness, syncope and decrease quality of life and also decrease heart functionality, if the patient doesn't respond to medical management or the patient cannot tolerate medication then Ablation is offered which is very safe and treat the focus in heart that creates the PVCs and therefore improves the symptoms, quality of life and
