What tests should be done for premature beats?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I am 38 years old and male. This year, for some reason, I've been experiencing discomfort in my heart, so I went to the hospital for a check-up. They said it's junctional rhythm and frequent junctional premature beats. I thought I should get a thorough examination at the hospital. What kind of detailed tests are needed for junctional rhythm and frequent junctional premature beats?

Doctor's answer:

If young and middle-aged people have junctional rhythm and frequent junctional premature beats, it may be considered to conduct a 24-hour Holter monitoring for a thorough examination. Additionally, it is necessary to have an echocardiogram of the heart performed. If there is no organic heart disease, this arrhythmia is considered to be functional. Rest more during the day, and use antiarrhythmic drugs if necessary. If accompanied by organic heart inflammation, actively diagnose and treat after diagnosis.
