A member asked:
If ectopic beats were caused by pericarditis will the ectopic beats go away if pericarditis is treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Premature beats caused by pericarditis will usually cease when the inflammatory episode resolves. It's important to have a careful evaluation by a cardiologist who can perform the necessary history, physical exam, echocardiogram, EKG, chest X-rays and arrange the special lab tests which can help determine the underlying cause of inflammation. This will enable accurate diagnosis and treatment.
