Why do pvc's seem to take your breath away for a slight second?. i've suffered with palpitations for 10 years now.

Yes it can: But ECG is notoriously inaccurate, especially the detection of ischemic heart disease. You should find a physician who offers multifunction cardiogram in his office. It is the most accurate in the detection of ischemia in women! please go find one, and it may save your life! http://en.M.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/multifunction_cardiogram.
