Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. I'm wondering if it's premature ventricular contractions and if I need a heart angiography?Doctor's answer:
Atrial premature beats is a common symptom of arrhythmia. There is no need for cardiac angiography for this type of arrhythmia. If myocardial infarction is suspected, cardiac angiography is required. Generally, coronary angiography can confirm the degree of stenosis and determine whether surgery is necessary. It is best to confirm the cause of atrial premature beats based on the condition, paying attention to whether there is myocarditis or coronary heart disease.
