Dr. Payam Mehranpour answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine - Cardiology

Cause: There are some reversible or underlying causes of bigeminy and ventricular ectopy which should be evaluated first. If none can be identified, betablockers or other antiarrhythmic drugs may be helpful. Electrophysiologic evaluation may be able to offer alternative treatment.
