Patient's question:
I am a patient with congenital heart disease. A short while ago, I had a thorough physical examination, and the doctor said there were signs of premature beats. I would like to know what are the main reasons that can lead to premature beats?Doctor's answer:
Early beats are usually common symptoms in heart patients. If resolved well, they are not necessarily serious symptoms. Early beats are often caused by overwork, mental tension, indigestion, emotional excitement, or unstable vegetative nervous system factors. They often disappear with activity or a slower heart rate. For example, poor rest, staying up late, high work pressure, or emotional excitement can lead to their occurrence. If the early beats originate from the ventricles and suddenly appear frequently, it is important to first be cautious whether they are combined with acute myocardial ischemia or uncompensated heart failure. It is necessary to identify the cause of the early beats.
