Do you have to take medication for the rest of your life?

Patients with clear triggers usually do not need lifelong medication. Premature beats in patients with organic heart disease usually require lifelong medication. There are many causes of premature beats. In some patients, the occurrence of premature beats may be related to mental stress and overexertion, which do not require lifelong medication, and in some patients, even no medication is needed. In some patients, there are clear causes for premature beats, such as electrolyte disorders and myocardial ischemia. After improving myocardial blood supply and correcting electrolyte disorders, premature beats can be reduced, and the drug can be discontinued when symptoms improve. Some patients with premature beats may have organic heart disease, such as rheumatic heart disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, etc. The primary disease can not be removed, and the symptoms may persist, and some patients may need to take medication for life in order to prevent the occurrence of malignant arrhythmia. Patients with premature beats with obvious symptoms should consult the doctor in time, improve the examination, make a clear diagnosis, and give targeted treatment under the guidance of the physician.
