The good news about living with PVCs and skipped beats is that they are highly manageable. Once we have used cardiac monitoring to capture and confirm the specific nature of your skipped beats, our primary goal is to reduce the frequency of these episodes and improve your overall quality of life.
Treatment typically follows a stepped approach:
- Lifestyle Modifications: Optimizing sleep, reducing stimulants, and improving hydration.
- Medication: Low-dose beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers can often “quiet” the heart’s electrical irritability.
- Advanced Procedures: For patients with a very high “PVC burden” that doesn’t respond to medication, we may discuss catheter ablation—a procedure we often use for SVT as well, as discussed in “Catheter Ablation: A Long-Term Solution”
Living in The Villages or Leesburg means staying active—whether that’s golf, tennis, or walking. You shouldn’t have to live with the constant distraction of a heart that feels out of sync. By capturing the rhythm and identifying the cause, we can create a plan that lets you focus on your life, not your pulse.
If you’ve been told to “just live with it” but the symptoms are disrupting your peace of mind, it’s time for a second opinion and a clear game plan.
