A member asked:
Can bigeminy or trigenimy be dangerous in a heart with normal echo ? is there ever a time it can be ?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Arrhythmia: If the heart is structurally and functionally normal, then bigeminy or trigeminy isn't particulary worrisome. On the other hand rechecking in the future is reasonable as sometimes the first sign of cardiomyopathy is this kind of abnormality before anything else shows up.

Rarely, but yes: Bigeminy or trigeminy can occur in people with healthy hearts in which case they are not dangerous but can cause palpitations which can be nerve racking. Your cardioligst is the best person to advise you in managing this problem. Sometimes it occurs due to excessive use of alcohol or caffeine. In that case cutting on caffeine(coffee/tea and coca cola) and alcohol can resolve this problem.
