Pvcs and pauses on ekg but diag as benign. how do they know just from ekg that they are benign?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Number & location : It is normal for most people to have some PVC's and pauses. PVC's all look fairly similar, and are only worrisome if there are too many of them, they occur too close together, or last too long. To some extent, the fact that you have them and are handling them just fine means that your heart is in great shape to resist more frequent or longer ones.
