Patient's question:
Yesterday, I encountered an elderly man who fainted on the street. I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said he had frequent ventricular premature beats. I don't quite understand this condition and would like to consult the doctor. Is frequent ventricular premature beats serious? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Ventricular premature beats (frequent) are often more likely to recur with tachycardia. In severe cases, sudden death may occur. Oral medication can be considered to control heart rate in a timely manner. Generally, myocardial brain edema is more likely to occur in this situation. It is recommended that you consider taking oral medication to dilate coronary arteries in a timely manner. In necessary cases, radiofrequency ablation can be considered.
