A member asked:
Im being treated for symptomatic pvcs and little runs of svt with flecainide, can i drink 6 beers in one day once a week?

It is firmly believed that alcohol can aggravate ventricular & atrial irritability & six beers is heavy intake of alcohol in one day. I trust you won't get one MD to ok that.

Reducing your alcohol intake will be best for arrhythmia and will reduce significantly further risks associated with anti arrhythmia drugs.

Would normal EKGs, chest X-ray, 7 day event monitor, echo and treadmill stress test rule out the possibility of going into cardiac arrest from PVCs? I get them in runs of bigeminy, trigeminy, and SVT sometimes lately. Event monitor showed 2% burden?
