A member asked:
I have pvcs and lately i feel a very long pause after them. how long of a pause is concerning? and what is it called?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Compensatory pause: This is called a compensatory pause, and is normal after a PVC as the heart resets its electrical system. It is difficult to say how long is too long without knowing more information, but pauses after isolated pvcs are not abnormal.
