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 ventricles, the lower chambers of the heart. It is a common type of rhythm disturbance and often occurs in people without underlying heart disease.
Symptoms that may appear: a sensation of a skip or flutter in the chest, palpitations, or the perception that the heart pauses for a moment; in some people it goes unnoticed.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist evaluates the heart rhythm through appropriate studies; in children, the pediatric cardiologist is involved.
When to seek care? If the palpitations are frequent or accompanied by dizziness, shortness of breath, or fainting, it is advisable to discuss it with a professional for an appropriate heart evaluation.
