Is high cholesterol and palpitations (pvcs , bigeminy ) typically related ?

Not necessarily: There is not a direct connection between high cholesterol and heart rhythm disorders, though atherosclerotic heart disease due to high cholesterol can be a trigger for rhythm disorders.

Maybe: High cholesterol causes heart disease. Hearts is ease can manifest as arrhythmia.
