This can be seen most dramatically in the case of premature ventricular contraction.

The rate was again steady for several minutes followed by three premature ventricular contractions in a row.

At first it was only one premature ventricular contraction followed by a compensatory pause.

"She didn't fibrillate but she did have premature ventricular contractions.

Then a premature ventricular contraction appeared.

For example, some cases of premature ventricular contraction have a mitral-valve prolapse which can be determined through the physical examination.

This increases the likelihood of a premature ventricular contraction occurring during the recording period and is therefore more useful in diagnosis.

When looking at an electrocardiograph premature ventricular contractions are easily spotted and therefore a definitive diagnosis can be made.

A single case of premature ventricular contractions appeared causally linked to administration of modafinil.

Fagel said that 27 percent of Gathers's heart beats during exercise were of a type called premature ventricular contractions.

Premature ventricular contractions can occur in a healthy person of any age, but are more prevalent in the elderly and in men.

Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) often cause this feeling.

Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are heartbeats that occur earlier than they should.

After these first symptoms, the heart may be affected by tachyarrhythmia, bradyarrhythmia, premature ventricular contractions, or atrioventricular blockage.

Treatment of ventricular tachyarrhythmias and premature ventricular contractions can be achieved by lidocaine treatment.

The premature ventricular contraction causes early emptying of the left ventricle (LV) into the aorta.

He then used this approach to teach patients to control their rate of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), where the ventricles contract too soon.

There are two main physiological explanations for premature ventricular contractions: re-entrant signalling and "enhanced automaticity in some ectopic focus".

At 4 days of age, she developed premature ventricular contractions that were immediately followed by sustained ventricular tachycardia that eventually responded to treatment with β-blockers.

Triggered by an early premature ventricular contraction (R-on-T PVC)

In general, a palpitation can be one of two types of beats: premature atrial contraction, or a premature ventricular contraction.

In the four episodes, Mr. Cheney had what are known as premature ventricular contractions, a type of skipped beat, Dr. Zipes said.

In one case, P&PD with the bed was associated with multi-focal premature ventricular contractions and 'whip' artefact on the pulmonary artery pressure tracing.

Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs)

Recent studies have shown that those subjects who have an extremely high occurrence (several thousands a day) of premature ventricular contractions (extrasystole) can develop dilated cardiomyopathy.
