A member asked:
What is a bigemy?is it a regular beat followed by a skipped heartbeat or is it two pvcs/pacs in a row?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Abnormal pattern: With bigeminy the heart doesn't beat in a normal pattern. After every routine heart beat, there a beat that comes too early, or what's known as a premature ventricular contraction (PVC). PVCs are common and do not always cause harm. With good health, treatment may not be needed. But with a heart condition, medicine may be needed to control the bigeminy. Lifestyle changes can help.
