A member asked:

Are there any other heart tests other than echo/ekg/holter/thyroid/adrenal tests to determine cause of tachy/pvcs? should i ask for stress test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Palpitations: There are many causes that can't be identified with a test like caffeine, tobacco and stress just to name a few. For some, there is no identifiable cause of pvc's. A stress test would provide a more thorough evaluation but typically that doesn't illicit the cause.
