A member asked:
Been told many times that pvc / pac or any odd heart rhythm is benign with a totally normal structurally heart, is this true do cardiologist agree??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
By and large yes: Depends on the particular rhythm and what is called normal. Isolate infrequent extra beats are benign. Sustained or frequent extra beats may not be. Any question deserves analysis by someone who has knowledge of cardio-vascular disease.
