EKG/ECG palpitation?!

[DustinS85]

Can anyone here read this ECG/EKG palpitation?

Did your GP/cardiologist not give you any further information? Not being medically trained I will not comment bar to say I believe it is harmless. If concerned go and see your GP.

Hi Dustin.

This extra beat is called a ventricular ectopic. A ventricular ectopic beat (VEB) is an extra heart-beat originating in the lower chamber of the heart. This beat, also called a premature ventricular contraction (PVC), occurs before the beat triggered by the heart's normal function. Often there is not a clear cause for these changes. They are mostly harmless. If you feel these are happening very often get advise from your own doctor.

Hope that is helpful.
