A member asked:
Echo & ekg normal just showing some extra beats/pvc's- if those tests are normal does this mean symptoms of skipping beats i feel are harmless?

Probably: It sounds like you don't have structural heart disease which suggests a benign prognosis. It is also important to know: have you ever passed out or nearly passed out during palpitations? Has anyone in your family died suddenly or unexpectedly/prematurely? How many extra beats do you have (obtainable from a 24 hour recording).That said, the majority of people with normal tests have harmless beats.

Yes: For most people these are harmless.

Not necessarily : Ecg is notoriously inaccurate, especially in the detection of ischemic heart disease. You should find a physician who offers multifunction cardiogram in his office. It is the most accurate in the detection of ischemia in women! please go find one, and it may save your life! http://en.M.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/multifunction_cardiogram.

Increasing PVCs during times of stress, with some short salvos. EKGs with J point elevation and inverted T wave in V1. Normal echos, stress test, event monitor. Normal CMRI with contrast. EP doctor says RVOT and benign. So, if NSVTs should I forget?
