Cardiologist: Your PVC's may not need to be treated unless they cause uncomfortable symptoms. For peace of mind I recommend ,in addition to an outpatient Holter monitor and 12 lead EKG, an echocardiogram to rule out structural heart pathology and a treadmill stress test to see whether exercise worsens or improves the ventricular irritability. A cardiologist should be involved in your evaluation.
