My Kardia is showing PVCs and premature ventricular contractions on different readings . HR around 65 .I have palpitations but not like this .

PVCs would be ventricle not atria. I used to have frequent PVCs when not in AF/Afl.

This explains difference between AF/AFL well I thought

I have read of instances of slow flutter but it produces a regular heart beat. PVC's will give you an irregular, uncomfortable heart beat.
