Patient's question:
I am 30 years old this year, and my physical condition is generally very good. I don't feel any discomfort, but I might be a bit tired from work recently. My workplace conducted a physical check-up and did an electrocardiogram. The results showed irregular heartbeat and ventricular premature beats. I would like to ask what should be done in this case with an irregular heartbeat and ventricular premature beats on an electrocardiogram?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you have an irregular heartbeat and premature ventricular contractions. It is recommended to have a Holter electrocardiogram to see how many premature contractions there are in 24 hours. If you don't feel any discomfort and the number of premature contractions is not significant, treatment may not be necessary for the time being. Have follow-up check-ups at intervals and monitor your condition carefully. If the premature contractions are frequent or you experience discomfort, it is recommended to consult the cardiology department for follow-up. Pay attention not to get fatigued, not to get angry, to maintain a regular schedule, and to have follow-up check-ups at intervals.
