What is another word for escaped ventricular contraction?
Pronunciation: [ɛskˈe͡ɪpt vɛntɹˈɪkjʊlə kəntɹˈakʃən] (IPA) 
Synonyms for the term "escaped ventricular contraction" refer to heartbeats that occur earlier than expected. A common synonym for this condition is "premature ventricular contraction" (PVC), which describes abnormal heart rhythms originating from the ventricles. PVCs can be detected through an electrocardiogram (ECG) and may result from various factors, such as stress, caffeine, or certain medications. Other synonyms include "ectopic beat" or "ventricular extrasystole", denoting heart contractions outside the normal rhythm. Although generally harmless, frequent or persistent PVCs may necessitate medical attention to rule out underlying cardiac conditions. Monitoring heart health, identifying triggers, and reducing stress are essential in managing escaped ventricular contractions.
