Pathways for the treatment of premature ventricular contractions

  Ventricular premature contractions are very common, and some experts estimate that few people go through life without having them. What should I do if I experience premature ventricular contractions? First, look for the cause: after having ventricular premature contractions, the cause of premature contractions should be determined through cardiac ultrasound, electrocardiogram, 24-hour electrocardiogram (Holter), etc. After several examinations by physicians, the treatment of the cause should be the first priority of treatment from the beginning to the end.  Secondly, it depends on the severity of the problem: if the problem is not frequent, occasional or asymptomatic, and if there is no organic heart disease, it can be treated without medication, and it will be gradually relieved after getting good mood and sleep and proper rest. For some coexisting diseases, even if they are “unrelated” (you know whether they are related or not), they should be treated at the same time, especially hypertension, diabetes and myocardial damaging diseases such as myocarditis, cardiomyopathy and coronary heart disease.  Some cases of premature ventricular disease are so severe that they require hospitalization or even radiofrequency ablation with catheterization to remove the “nest” of premature ventricular disease.  According to this year’s expert research, some ventricular premature and ion channel disease related, that is, the cardiomyocyte inside and outside of some potassium sodium calcium ions swimming back and forth out of order, it is more necessary to find expert guidance treatment, because these diseases sometimes only ECG graphics to guide the diagnosis, and many people have no symptoms, unaware.  Third, adhere to the treatment: halfway is not allowed, is often the “grandfather” of treatment failure.  Fourth, prevent false good: some people say my ventricular premature is well without treatment, not at all uncomfortable, the actual inevitable, there are many ventricular premature patients after a stage, the feeling of premature beats will gradually “numb”, there are premature beats and no feeling, only check the 24-hour ECG to catch it.
