A member asked:

Why do drs order stress test for frequent pvcs? what significance does this show for reason of frequent pvcs?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ischemia?: I would assume he/she they are looking for ischemic causes for PVCs that could turn into a rythm called ventricular tachycardia secondary to poor circulation in the coronary arteries.
