PVCs do not cause embolic stroke such as atrial flutter/fibrillation. If symptomatic, frequent PVCs should be treated.

PVCs are not necessarily serious if the heart is structurally normal. You description of fibrosis in the heart muscle is indicative of prior damage and needs further evaluation by a cardiologist. Follow up evaluation is important. On occasion reports of this kind are erroneous and need to be verified by an experienced cardiologist. Please follow up.
