PVCs often have no significance in people without history of heart disease. PVCs may be isolated or occur in specific patterns. They may be triggered by anxiety or stress; tobacco, alcohol or caffeine use; hypoxia, acidosis, and electrolyte imbalances; sympathomimetic drugs; and coronary heart disease. They may be associated with an increased risk for lethal dysrhythmias and their incidence and significance is greatest after myocardial infarction.
