A member asked:

I have had lots of heart tests and was diagnosed with pvcs. latley the pvcs are painful at times. is this cause for concern? the pain is brief.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

PVCs: Pvcs may cause discomfort to some people. The pvcs and symptoms are only a cause for concern if there is signficant cardiac disease as an underlying cause or coexistant problem. Pvcs with otherwise normal cardiac status are generally not a risk.
