What is another word for premature ventricular contraction?
Pronunciation: [pɹɪmət͡ʃˈʊ͡ə vɛntɹˈɪkjʊlə kəntɹˈakʃən] (IPA) 
Premature Ventricular Contraction (PVC) is a condition that occurs when the heart's ventricles contract earlier than usual, leading to an irregular heartbeat. There are several synonyms for this condition that are commonly used in medical literature and discussions. Some of the common synonyms for PVC include premature ventricular beat, premature ventricular depolarization, ventricular premature complex, or ventricular ectopic beat. PVCs can occur in patients of all ages and are often benign. However, if the condition becomes frequent or if the patient has a pre-existing heart disease, treatment may be necessary. The type of treatment used will depend on the severity of the condition and the underlying health condition of the patient.
