For patients with more than 1,000 PVCs per day, the risk of developing left ventricular systolic dysfunction after 5 years follow-up is low. Frequent PVCs may increase the risk of developing cardiomyopathy, which can greatly impair heart function. A PVC burden greater than 10% is the minimal threshold for development of PVC-induced cardiomyopathy.
When it comes to eating for heart health, it’s not always as simple as some foods are “bad” while others are “good”. That’s why taking a one-size-fits-all approach to a heart healthy ...

Ectopic beats are considered normal and are not indicative of cardiac pathology. Ectopic beats often remain undetected and occur as part of minor errors in the heart conduction system. They are rarely indicative of cardiac pathology, although may occur more frequently or be more noticeable in those with existing cardiac abnormalities.
This is complemented by gastro-coronary reflexes [12] whereby the coronary arteries constrict with "functional cardiovascular symptoms" similar to chest-pain on the left side and radiation to the left shoulder, dyspnea, sweating, up to angina pectoris-like attacks with extrasystoles, drop of blood pressure, and tachycardia (high heart rate) or ...
Eating lots of vegetables may be as good for the heart as taking 4,000 more steps every day, according to a 2023 study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology. Cardiologists ...
"The foods we eat can have an impact on developing several risk factors for heart disease, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes," explains Dr. Kevin Rabii, DO, FACC, a ...
