Larry Y1 - 2022 N1 - T2 - Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, 21e AB - Ventricular ectopic beats are very common and may be identified during outpatient or inpatient telemetry monitoring either due to symptoms of palpitations or as an incidental finding. In most cases, ventricular ectopy, presenting as premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT), and accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR), is asymptomatic and does not require specific treatment. While most commonly benign when presenting in patients with structurally normal hearts and normal ECGs, these ventricular arrhythmias can rarely be associated with structural heart disease and a risk of sudden death.
