A member asked:
Low levels of pvcs have shown no increased risk of heart damage or dysfunction in otherwise healthy hearts." my question: what defines "low levels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No one right answer: This has never been precisely defined to my knowledge. I would say (as a general rule of thumb) if someone has less than 100-200 PVCs in 24 hour period as ascertained by Holter monitoring, that's a low level. You have about 100,000 heart beats in a day.
