Ventricular Premature Beats (VPB)
Prognosis for Ventricular Premature Beats
VPBs are not significant in patients without a heart disorder, and no treatment is required beyond avoiding obvious triggers. Beta-blockers or ablation are offered only if symptoms are intolerable or if the VPBs are very frequent and, by inducing interventricular dyssynchrony, induce Heart Failure (HF) . Other antiarrhythmics that suppress VPBs increase risk of more serious arrhythmias.
