Premature Ventricular Contraction
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A premature ventricular contraction is an early heartbeat that originates in the lower chambers of the heart and briefly interrupts the usual rhythm. It is a common finding and, in many cases, does not signal a major problem.
Common symptoms: some people notice a sensation of a flip, skip, or pause in the chest, while in others it goes unnoticed and is detected in a heart study.
When to see the doctor? An evaluation is advisable when the palpitations are frequent, are accompanied by dizziness, shortness of breath, or chest pain, or cause concern.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist evaluates heart rhythm in adults, and the pediatric cardiologist handles these cases in childhood. Discussing the symptoms with one of these professionals allows their meaning to be clarified with peace of mind.
