A member asked:

When are pvcs dangerous? have been experiencing occasional bouts of pausing and hard restarting thumps while walking. gp just said it was normal.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

General rule: It's not the nature or number of pvcs that determines danger, it's underlying condition of the heart. Frequent pvcs in a normal heart are benign. Few pvcs in the setting of a heart attack are ominous. Hopefully your gp has evaluated you for occult heart disease?
