Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are extra, abnormal heartbeats that begin in one of heart's ventricles. These extra beats disrupt your regular heart rhythm. Premature ventricular contractions are very common and they occur in totally healthy people too. Symptoms of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) include heart palpitation, heart flip-flops, or fluttering. Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) can be diagnosed using electrocardiogram (ECG). Usually premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) do not need treatment. If premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) symptoms bother you, they can be solved by avoiding caffeine or tobacco, using medications such as beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, anti-arrhythmic drugs(amiodarone [Cordarone, Pacerone] or flecainide) or radiofrequency catheter ablation.
