Why are pvcs felt under throat?what are the chances your heart stops after a benign pvcs episode?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Heart stops: The heart always pauses after a PVC to get back into the original rhythm that was interrupted by the premature beat. This pause is called a "complete compensatory pause" in contrast to premature atrial beats which are "incompletely compensatory". Benign PVCs, by definition, NEVER result in cardiac arrest.
