Patient's question:
Grandpa's heart has been having problems again for a long time, but back then the issue wasn't as serious. He has been taking medication to control it. However, now it might be due to his age that frequent premature beats are causing us great concern about his health. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your grandfather should be diagnosed with frequent premature beats, which has been clearly confirmed. Premature beats are also divided into ventricular premature beats and atrial premature beats. Generally speaking, based on current medical trials and extensive clinical practical experience, premature beats are one of the most common types of arrhythmias. They can usually be controlled with medication. For occasional premature beats, special treatment is generally not required, whereas frequent premature beats do need medication control. If necessary, further detailed examination and diagnosis can be conducted in the cardiology department of a hospital with a grade 3A or higher level.
