Junctional tachycard: Runs of 3-8 beats would be classified as short bursts of junctional tachycardia. One beat would be a single premature junctional complex or beat. 2 beats would be a couplet. 3 beats would be a triplet or short run of junctional tachycardia also. Apparently no pro!onged runs of junctional tachycardia were seen on your holter monitoring.

Yes, by defenition.: If a person has 3-8 consecutive beats at a heart rate greater than 100 beats /minute, you have junctions tachycardia. Unless you have other signs of heart disease, I would not attribute this to “heart disease”. You should be evaluated to rule out structural heart disease and attention should be turned to ruling out concomitant heart disease. You may need a cardiologist evaluation if this recurs.

I get PVCS and have POTS. If I get my heart rate to 110bpm with exercise I'm ok. BUT if I get hot like sat in sun and my HR goes to 110bpm I get TONS of PVCS, why? Structurally normal heart by echo, ECG and normal bloods and electrolytes?

I get benign pvc and PACs. Sometimes I get 4-6 beat runs of PACs with no normal beats in between. Is this benign? Echo, cardiac mri, resting ecg, exercise ecg, electrolytes and thyroid all completely normal.

Would heart failure be possible after normal resting echo? Pains, vomiting, collapse, tachycardia on standing and complete exercise intolerance 5 months. Possible pots but symptoms so severe i worry.
