How is it determined whether it is a functional premature beat or an organic premature beat through which check?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling discomfort 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'd like to know what kind of tests can determine whether it's functional premature beats or organic premature beats?

Doctor's answer:

If high blood pressure is not treated in a timely and standardized manner for a long period, it can lead to hypertensive heart disease, causing heart hypertrophy and resulting in organic functional impairment. It is recommended that you undergo examinations such as an electrocardiogram (ECG), a 24-hour Holter monitor, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to determine whether the condition is functional or organic. Once the diagnosis is clear, it is essential to follow standardized treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor. Additionally, avoid overexertion, staying up late, and maintain a positive mood.
