No: If you are at increased risk for sudden death compared to the general population, then you would need an implantable defibrillator in your chest. Not an AED hanging on the wall. Consult an electrophysiologist. They will guide you properly.

Would normal EKGs, chest X-ray, 7 day event monitor, echo and treadmill stress test rule out the possibility of going into cardiac arrest from PVCs? I get them in runs of bigeminy, trigeminy, and SVT sometimes lately. Event monitor showed 2% burden?
