If they happen frequently, PVCs may weaken your heart and increase your risk of heart failure. A bundle of fibers located in the top right portion of your heart (the sinoatrial node, also known as SA) typically regulates your heart's rhythm. Electrical signals travel from this node to the lower chambers of your heart or ventricles. Causes PVCs occur when the electrical impulse that normally starts your heartbeat at a point called the sinus node (also known as the sinoatrial or SA node) doesn't. Instead, the impulse is generated in a different area of your heart called the ventricles and triggers a mistimed beat. These extra beats are known as ventricular tachycardia, and ventricular fibrillation. It may feel like the heart skipped a beat or feels fluttering. They may occur infrequently and not cause any symptoms, but they can occur frequently enough to affect your standard of life. If occur frequently or cause weakness, dizziness, or fatigue, your doctor may treat them with medication. For most people, PVCs are harmless and don't increase your risk of heart disease or other health issues. Over time, repeated PVCs can weaken the heart muscle. This is particularly true if the PVCs are triggered by a condition like dilated cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic right-ventricular cardiomyopathy, which can lead to heart failure. PVCs can cause symptoms such as a feeling of your heart beating a beat, or the feeling of your heart fluttering. You may also feel breathless. The fluttering may be more apparent when you exercise, or consume certain drinks or foods. People with chronic stress or anxiety can have more PVCs and certain medications like amiodarone digoxin, and cocaine can increase the risk of developing them. If you have occasional PVCs Your doctor may suggest lifestyle changes
