Are frequent ventricular premature beats serious?
Frequent ventricular premature beats can be serious depending on the specific circumstances; some cases are more severe, while others are not. If the frequent ventricular premature beats occur on the basis of severe heart diseases such as severe heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, or are caused by severe hypokalemia, these cases of frequent ventricular premature beats are relatively severe. They carry the risk of progressing to malignant arrhythmias leading to sudden cardiac death, thus requiring prompt and active management to prevent adverse outcomes. In healthy individuals, frequent ventricular premature beats triggered by factors such as staying up late or fatigue are generally not serious. They can quickly recover with adequate rest and sufficient sleep.
