A member asked:
I will see electrophysiology as my cardiologist thought i had ectopic beats but my description is much closer to non sustained vt ,big difference?

Ectopic beats can: come from the atria or the ventricle. Not sure which you mean. They carry different prognostic and diagnostic significance so there is a big difference. The EP will straighten this out.
