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.
