A member asked:
Is there any linkage between ketogenic diets and heart rhythm issues like pvcs or pacs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In some cases, yes: Aaron, There are some very small studies that suggest that ketogenic diets may increase the risk of arrhythmia in children with epilepsy by increasing the QT interval on the ECG. There are no large studies of good quality that I am aware of that definitively show similar risks for PVC's or PAC's in otherwise healthy people.
