Generally, it is recommended that patients eat foods that are easy to digest, and patients are encouraged to eat more vegetables, especially green vegetables, as this can effectively supplement vitamins and an appropriate intake of vitamins. Regarding meat, patients are encouraged to focus on a diet of high-quality proteins, eating more lean meats, fish, and eggs to adequately enhance nutrition. However, do not eat spicy and stimulating food, especially greasy food, and also avoid animal organs. Do not smoke or drink, as these can lead to the development of coronary heart disease. Regular electrocardiogram check-ups are also advisable.

Are ventricular premature beats serious?

Ventricular premature beats are a very common condition in daily life, so many patients often ask their doctors this question: Are my ventricular premature beats severe? This needs to be analyzed based on the specific issue and circumstances. First, if there is no structural heart disease, these premature beats are generally known as functional ventricular premature beats, which are usually not serious and do not endanger life safety. Second, if there is concomitant structural heart disease, such as coronary heart disease or cardiomyopathy, then these ventricular premature beats are generally considered risky, and it is necessary to take medication or undergo surgery under the guidance of a doctor.

What causes premature ventricular contractions?

Ventricular premature beats are the most common type of premature beats clinically, and they mostly occur in healthy people, also known as benign premature beats. They are caused by unstable autonomic nerve function leading to arrhythmia and do not require treatment with anti-arrhythmic drugs. Treatment through regulating nerves and lifestyle can lead to improvement. They can also occur in organic heart diseases, such as coronary heart disease, rheumatic heart disease, pulmonary heart disease, and viral myocarditis. These organic heart diseases, due to long-term myocardial damage, exhibit ectopic rhythms and require treatment with effective anti-arrhythmic drugs alongside treatment of the primary disease (the use of such drugs should be under the guidance of a physician).

Ventricular premature beat

Ventricular premature beats refer to heartbeats that occur prematurely below the bifurcation of the bundle of His, causing early depolarization of the myocardium; they are a common arrhythmia in clinical settings. Ventricular premature beats can occur in healthy individuals and may be triggered by factors such as fatigue and staying up late, excessive smoking and drinking, excessive mental stress, and consuming strong tea and coffee. They can also be seen in organic heart diseases such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, hypertensive heart disease, myocarditis, and cardiomyopathy. For ventricular premature beats, it is crucial to actively remove the related triggers. If accompanied by organic heart disease, it is necessary to actively control the underlying disease.

The difference between ventricular premature beats and atrial premature beats.

Atrial premature beats are excitations of the heart initiated by the atrium and are prematurely triggered; ventricular premature beats refer to heart excitations initiated by the ventricles, which are also premature. On the electrocardiogram (ECG), atrial premature beats can be seen as prematurely occurring P waves and QRS complexes, where the shape of the QRS complex is consistent with that of the normal sinus rhythm. In contrast, ventricular premature beats on the ECG are shown as prematurely occurring wide and abnormal QRS complexes, with no preceding P wave.

How many ventricular premature beats per day?

Ventricular premature beats can be caused by physiological reasons, diseases, ion disturbances, certain medications, and so on. If a healthy person without any diseases experiences ventricular premature beats, they should quit smoking, limit alcohol intake, ensure adequate rest, avoid staying up late, avoid excessive fatigue, and drink less or avoid strong tea, coffee, and other substances that stimulate the sympathetic nervous system. If ventricular premature beats are caused by other reasons, the specific cause should be determined by a specialist based on the medical condition and related examinations, and a reasonable treatment plan should be provided. (The use of medications should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor.)
