Yes just continue monitoring meds. And if continues into sustained Ventricular tachycardia they can do a pace maker. Have you been on event monitoring

Hello IvyRose. PVC's stand for Premature Ventricular Contractions meaning the heart beat comes to soon not letting the heart beat rest enough before the next beat comes.

I think PVC’s are like you are going into an heart attack. They show up when the have the monitor on and plus they can so up whe having and echocardiogram done. When I was on my way to the hospital in November 2017 I was throwing PV’s and they took me to Meadville instead to the heart specialist hospital. I got very good care. Then I was transferred to Hamot in Ereie, Pennsylvania. I hope this might help some. Hugs

All I know Janine is p and t and r are what the different waves on an ECG are called. PVC's are premature ventricular contractions. I'm sorry...l just noticed ...I meant to say has anyone had the R-on-T phenomenon. The r wave presents on the t wave which appears upsidedown on the ECG printout. It has something to do with the PVC's. I think it can bring about arrythmias and I'm m not sure what causes it. I should post a picture of it. When I have time I will.
