why nobody knows
Nobody — and I mean really nobody — can give me a proper answer to this.
I recently started taking a beta blocker again (Bisoprolol 1.25 mg twice a day) because my PVCs/PACs are acting up again. Since then, I definitely have fewer ectopic beats overall, but now they are almost always interpolated PVCs — PVCs without the compensatory pause.
What I don’t understand is the significance of these interpolated PVCs. Nobody can really explain to me whether they are considered “worse,” more dangerous, or just feel worse. And I’m getting quite a lot of them.
My heart is structurally healthy according to all tests, but an interpolated PVC feels 10,000x worse than a normal PVC to me. Does anyone else experience this or has a cardiologist explained the difference properly?
