A member asked:
What is the definition or description of: skipped heart beat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Missed beat: We all probably have minor heart irregularities every day and don't even know it. There may be premature or delayed beats in the course of 100, 000 beats in a day that are of no consequence. The problem may come in if these occur frequently or cause symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, or shortness of breath. Pvcs are benign -- other skipped beats need to be defined using an ekg.
