Im having pvcs , looking back at my echocardiogram done this past october 2015. my ivs was 1.1 and my lvpw 1.1. could this be the cause of my pvcs?

Normal echo: No. PVCs are extra beats from the bottom chamber of the heart.. Depending on where they originate, they could be secondary to "sick" heart muscle (ischemia/ infarct) or just a focus of extra cells that can be cured with a procedure by a cardiac electrophysiologist, if they are frequent. RVOT PVCs are affected by hormones. Talk to your cardiologist.
