Specializes in Cardiology

Bike?: Bicycle exercise allows a much more controlled maintenance of any given target heart rate and may help you keep your PVC burden in line during exercise. If not, let's get you a second opinion with an electrophysiologist who's very likely to knock those pvcs out for good.

A member asked:

I jog 30km a week. 6 months after running, I started experiencing PVCs. Only felt a few in my life prior. Two cardiologists have cleared me OK with monitoring and lab work. Did I harm or scar my heart from running too much too quickly from the start?
