I developed a Vitamin D deficiency not long ago, and sometimes, when I developed symptoms of hypocalcemia, I would get short runs of bigeminus. Fortunately, that only happened a few times.
PVCs r daily occurrence to me ,,, I cud feel one while I was watching this video .. i know how it feels ,,really awkward ,,especially when 2 or more PVCs appear in row ..I heard that the Catheter ablation can destroy the tissues in the ventricles where the PVC is originated ( this procedure is more effective when it used for Supraventricular tachycardia ) - but it may terminate PVCs ....
not as far as i know - i was checked with echocardiography, cardiac catheter, cardiac MRI, and of course blood stuff like potassium levels or tyroid issues - nothing. i think it may be solely stress related, as i have blood pressure issues with that, too - 120-145 or so when i am at home, but at a hospital open house day - around a lot of noisy people in a hall - i had 188 systolic on a monitor and was almost admitted for hypertensive crisis, i think, lol. the nurse freaked out a bit, anyway.
well, she was just like "THAT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE!" as i had 188 systolic, lol.
i know it's not really normal; but beta-blockers e.g. dont help. the only thing that really cures the arrhythmia is flecainide, and that is pretty dangerous and has possibly lethal side-effects, too, so i'm not taking it anymore. i can live pretty well with those extrasystoles for now... they decreased after i took and stopped flecainide... from like 25.000 / day to maybe just a few thousand a day.
are PVC's dangerous depending on the type/cause? I was told I had palpitations but the ECG looked very similar with alarms going off 2-3 times a minute. after 4 hours they unplugged me and said I was a "rare" case and I could see a cardio if I wanted. This was an ER dr. I assumed it was nothing serious.
well, as you guessed right, PVCs are only dangerous if there's an underlying heart disease. they can occur if you had a heart attack or other severe heart disease and may then be part of a life-threatening condition. usually, PVCs occur in a healthy heart though; especially due to stress, lack of sleep, alcohol, nicotine, or other drugs. sometimes, having not enough magnesium, potassium or calcium can be the cause... but most of the time, no cause is found and it's considered 'not dangerous'.
nothing against yall but i think medics or better. they dont have a dr. to ask what to do for something when the shit hits the fan they gotta know it. but i got respect for anyone in the medical field so im not dissing anyone
usually, any extrasystoles are completely harmless and occur in most - if not all - people. if they are rather frequent, they are still harmless most of the time. in a few cases though e.g. a thyroid malfunction or even a more or less severe disease of the heart can be the cause for extrasystoles occuring often - and that underlying disease could kill you, yes. but, again: usually, extrasystoles have harmless or no causes and are nothing to worry about.
well, I first noticed them three years ago, I was 15 years old, and I was detected PVCs, usually playing football but more concretely AFTER the sport, 1 hour after stopping, at home, I had a lot of extrasystoles. when I'm at home for one day I don't use to have any, but the day I go out for a walk the PVCs arrive, specially after having walked, at home.
I had an episode of v-tach one month ago, my heart went crazy fot 10 seconds more or less, with a lot PVCs in a row.
PVC's should concern you if you have 6 or more in one minute or if you are having runs of VTACH(3 or more in a row) PVC's are really danerous if they fall really close to the previous QRST complex. If the PVC falls just on the right spot during the absolute refractory period this could trigger VTACH and possibly followed by VFIB.
yes, this is called R-on-T phenomena. though, i had quite a few of those recorded in 24 hours ecgs, and they never triggered a VTACH or anything in my (diagnosed as healthy!) heart. but it can happen, yeah...
I don't have neither left nor right bundle branch block, but as the time progresses I have more and more ventricular bigeminy and that v-tach, so I'm worried.
This is sinus tach then it goes into couplets of bigeminy and then bigeminy and then back and fourth bewtween that and sinus tach. If you dont think those are PVC's you need to take a refresher in EKG's.
strangely, even the doctors called this PVCs from the LVOT. so does the newer version of the hellige SMU they use in my hospital, and the older hellige version i use; both recognize those as VES (ventricular extrasystoles). oh, and them doctors in the cathether lab called it LVOT VES as well. but yeah, i guess that's the difference between a doctor and a nurse - last time i was at the hospital, the nurse who took my ecg didnt even know what the QT interval was... on a cardiac ICU. oh well.
i am not disputing what the ecg i have looked again and i can see malformed QRS complexes oh and yes some nurses cant read ECGs but i specialise in emergency nusing and coronry care thats how i can read an ecg. What i was saying is that some people on hear r using medical jargon to look impressive and not translate it and i am not on about you you do translate it and i have seen that. And dont
put doctors above nurses yes they do have more training but who cared for you when you were in hospital nurses thats who cared for u in the day and night i know many doctors who cant even put a ven flon in a patient they ent all that good some are some ent.so take a rain check and dont snub nurses.Oh well
aight you all, that's enough attacking nurses and attacking back. Ventricular extrasystoles (VES's) and premature ventricular contractions (PVC's) are the same thing. PVC is just the more widely accepted term. And as for the difference between Dr.'s and Nurses...their not even comparable. Holistic REAL care vs. Medical knowledge. Thank you nurse Chrissie, you do something that very few can.

you r a lier you r not old enough to be an RN turned MD your 21 u twat and also nurse do have medical knowledge we train for 3 yrs so i thnk we do some how so grow up little boy get a life and as i always say medical jargon dont make u look big i have been there when i was in my third year doing the same thinking i was the clever person and no i does not leave the jargon in the hospital people on hear r bored go back to ur office desk leave the medical work to the experts the real MD and RN
i'm 28..don't know why u think im 21 or how u even got an age for that matter? but anyway i was supporting you..i said nurses provide the REAL care and Dr. have NOTHING but medical knowledge. My 4 yrs of NSG school and 2 years in CTU is where all my medical knowledge came from. I didn't say RN's lacked any med. knowledge. When u page a dr. 4 whatever, i know that you know what they are going to tell you b4 they even do. RN's are all med. knowledge most the time MD's learn from them
i am so sorry i read your message wrong i am so sorry. I have just had loads of people on here abusing me i am so so sorry.I can now see that you were supporting me and i read it wrong please accept my apology i am so sorry
weird. i thought you were 21 too. from your name scruse(87) as in 1987 and from the profile information. but either way, doctors have more knowledge, although not clinically skilled and with everything theres a specialty. and lets not forget PDR. i have encountered stupidity on both ends and i would have to say that nurses are by far more stubborn and less willing to change.
yes, it really is my heart's ECG on that monitor. i am on flecainide now, which works really well against the arrythmia. in the end - when i was hospitalized - i had around 25.000 PVCs a day and short episodes of ventricular tachycardia. no reason or underlying heart disease could be found, even though they even checked me with MRI and did an intracardiac catheter (see my other vids, they're up on youtube).
well, it works on any living being with a beating heart. if you or the animal / other human is extremely hairy, though, you will need to shave the spots for the electrodes. but apart from that, it works with everybody who is alive, yes of course!
no, not really. depends if there's an underlying heart disease, electrolyte imbalance, etc. though... but on it's own in a healthy heart, it's not considered to be life-threatening.
the wider spikes are extrasystoles, the narrower ones are sinus beats ("normal").
