Episodic supraventricular premature beats, refers to a type of arrhythmia, because it is episodic, so it is usually not very serious, it may be caused by physiological factors, or may be caused by pathological factors, the former is often seen in excessive fatigue and stay up all night, drink coffee and strong tea, the latter may be seen in coronary heart disease, myocarditis, electrolyte metabolic disorders and other conditions.
Supraventricular premature beats refer to the abnormal distribution of electrical impulses appearing above the atrioventricular junction, which is a type of arrhythmia, referring to the abnormal electrical activity of the heart, because it is episodic, so the patients usually do not have obvious clinical symptoms, some may have a sense of cardiac arrest at the time of the attack, and some may be accompanied by some of the symptoms of the primary disease.

Physiological factors can occur episodic supraventricular premature beats, such as overwork, prolonged late-night sleep, emotional excitement, drinking coffee and strong tea, but most of them do not need special treatment, can be improved by resting well, or if there are clinical symptoms, follow the doctor’s instructions to take appropriate treatment with medication such as metoprolol.
2. Pathologic factors can also cause episodic supraventricular premature beats, commonly found in coronary heart disease, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, electrolyte metabolism disorders, infections and other conditions. The main treatment is to find the primary cause of the disease and treat the primary disease. If episodic premature beats cause clinical symptoms, antiarrhythmic drugs can also be given to address the situation, such as amiodarone, metoprolol, etc.
