What is ventricular premature beat

summary

Ventricular premature beat is a more complex disease, because the harm of the disease is more special, if not reasonable control treatment, the consequences are still very serious. Let's see what is ventricular premature beat.

What is ventricular premature beat

First of all: before the sinus node impulse reaches the ventricle, any part of the ventricle or the ectopic rhythm point of the interventricular septum sends out an electrical impulse in advance to cause ventricular depolarization, which is called ventricular premature contraction. There is great variability in clinical symptoms, from asymptomatic, mild palpitations and discomfort to syncope or amaurosis caused by premature beat triggering malignant ventricular arrhythmia, and there is no parallel relationship between clinical symptoms and prognosis.

Secondly: premature beat can be seen in normal people, or in patients with organic heart disease, common in coronary heart disease, rheumatic heart disease, hypertensive heart disease, cardiomyopathy, etc. Premature beat can also be seen in quinidine, procaine amide, digitalis or antimony poisoning; hypokalemia; mechanical stimulation of the heart during cardiac surgery or cardiac catheterization.

Finally: ventricular premature beat (or ventricular premature contraction), referred to as ventricular premature beat, is a very common arrhythmia in clinic, which occurs in a wide range of people, including normal healthy people and patients with various heart diseases. The clinical symptoms of ventricular premature beat have great variability, from asymptomatic, mild palpitation discomfort, to premature beat triggering malignant ventricular arrhythmia causing syncope or amaurosis, and its clinical symptoms have no parallel relationship with prognosis. In the discovery of palpitations when there is discomfort, it is best to conduct timely examination and diagnosis.

matters needing attention

It is important to understand the characteristics of the symptoms of this disease and to treat it early. In the treatment of ventricular premature beat, we should pay attention to control the dosage of antiarrhythmic drugs to avoid side effects.
