Specializes in Family Medicine

Get evaluation: It was probably benign PVCs as you suspect, however ectopic beats during exercise can be concerning. You should have a stress test or other cardiac evaluation if you haven't in the last few years. How do you know they were PVCs? Versus something more concerning?

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
