Need evaluation: You have an excessive number of PVC's. If the monitor is accurate this is a potential health concern that can lead to development of a cardiomyopathy. You need a thorough evaluation. There are both medical and interventional treatments that will prevent future health concerns. You should see a cardiologist and or electrophysiologist for evaluation and management.

PVC: that means you have a PVC with every other heart beat. If there are rubs of ventricular tachycardia or or T on R phenomenon serious considerations should be given to medications
