Yes, it indicates a higher potential for arrhythmia than an isolated PVC.

These couplets show.more ventricular irritability than single PVC's. Three or more PVC's is considered a run of ventricular tachycardia.& is of greater concern. A rare couplet, not so much. But if your outpatient monitoring shows frequent PVC couplets,I recommend consulting a cardiologist who specializes in electrophysiology.for evaluation, advice& follow-up.
