A member asked:
Keep having many pvcs on ekg but no arrhythmia. i'm on toprol (metoprolol). why is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PVCs are Arrhythmia: The likely answer is that your doctors are attempting to keep down the number of pvcs you're having. The level of success with such strategies varies from person to person. Our understanding of pvcs continues to evolve, but in very high numbers, they can lead to heart dysfunction and require specific interventions. An electrophysiologist may be able to "ablate" the pvcs and get you off meds.
