A member asked:
Can cardiac stimulants like atropine be given in ventricular bigeminy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: In the absence of any other evidence of heart disease, particularly coronary or ischemic heart disease, ventricular bigeminy is a benign rhythm that usually causes neither symptoms nor problems, and often comes and goes. There is generally no reason to treat it. If your doctor has concern, a holter monitor can be applied for 24 hours to see if there are any truly worrisome arrhythmias.

I have been told that I have atrial and ventricular bigeminy. Can they occur together or always separate?
I measure my BP at home & it is averaging low at 89/58.I also have "frequent premature ventricular complexes in a pattern of bigeminy" according to my ECG. Should I ask my GP for beta blockers or is there another medicine that can help low BP & PVCs?
Would normal EKGs, chest X-ray, 7 day event monitor, echo and treadmill stress test rule out the possibility of going into cardiac arrest from PVCs? I get them in runs of bigeminy, trigeminy, and SVT sometimes lately. Event monitor showed 2% burden?
