My doctor diagnosed me with benign pvcs. are they dangerous in any way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubtful: Almost every one of us has occasional pvcs. When monitored, these are common and rarely worrisome. Usually we check some basic labs and if indicated we check the heart's structure (echocardiogram), but for rare pvcs even these are often not necessary.
