How many pvcs in a minute are dangerous?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
More than 10 per min: It's not just the number but if you are having symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, or syncope. If the PVC count is more than 15,000 per day, this could cause heart failure over time. Please see an EP cardiac specialist!

20000: First able, it is very important to know if the heart is normal or abnormal . In normal hearts , few PVC's may cause a lot of symptoms but several may not . More than 20000 pvcs x minute is associated with heart failure. After a heart attack, more than 10 pvcs x minute is associated with higher cardiovascular risk.
