Event (loop) monitor: 24 hour holter monitor works only if you have symptoms (pvcs) at least once daily every day. If your pvcs are less frequent than daily and you only record a 24hr period of time, it's possible to record symptom-free 24hrs, right? That's where event (loop) monitor comes in hand as it records over itself over & over again until you have pvc, punch button & send off captured recording for evaluation.

No other test needed: Pvcs are normal for people to have. There is no other workup needed. If they are extremely symptomatic, consider asking for treatment to suppress them. But there is no is no need for further testing.

Heart tests are normal, so why have I been dizzy for the past 3 weeks, gets worse during exercise. Echo,stress,ekgs all normal. Do have some PVCS.
I went to the cardiologist bc of an abnormal ekg saying inferior ischemic. The cardiologist ekg was normal but he wanted echo and stress test to make sure. It been 3 days. If he saw something wrong like heart failure would he let me know right away?
Would normal EKGs, chest X-ray, 7 day event monitor, echo and treadmill stress test rule out worried for cardiac arrest or heart failure? Have PVCs in runs of bigeminy, trigeminy, and SVT sometimes lately. 2% burden?
