What are the causes of ventricular premature beats?

Causes of ventricular premature beats

There are many kinds, mainly as follows: First, the causes of ventricular premature beats are mental stress, drinking, drinking coffee, poor sleep and so on. Ventricular premature beats can occur in people without heart disease; It may also happen to patients with various heart diseases. If these people have no symptoms or mild symptoms, they generally do not need special treatment. If there are many premature beats that cause obvious symptoms and interfere with the normal life and work of patients, some antiarrhythmic drugs can be used under the guidance of doctors for a short time to improve the symptoms.

Secondly, digitalis poisoning is also the cause of ventricular premature beats. At this time, the drug should be stopped immediately and phenytoin sodium or potassium chloride should be injected intravenously.

Third, some people have premature ventricular contractions during quinidine syncope or antimony treatment. At this time, quinidine or antimony oral drugs should be stopped immediately, and procainamide, β -blocker and digitalis (suitable for ventricular premature beats caused by heart failure rather than digitalis poisoning) can be selected for treatment.

Fourthly, many basic heart diseases are also the causes of ventricular premature beats, such as coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, rheumatic heart disease, mitral valve prolapse, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy and hypertension. Some patients' ventricular premature beats are caused by electrolyte disorder in the body, such as hypokalemia and magnesium.

Therefore, when ventricular premature beats are found, you should go to the hospital in time, let the doctor check whether there is a basic heart disease, and correct it in time when carrying out related tests.
