This was called the “ vulnerable period ” by Wiggers and Wegria in 1940, who brought to attention the concept of the danger of premature ventricular beats occurring on a T wave.

For example, some cases of premature ventricular contraction have a mitral-valve prolapse which can be determined through the physical examination.

The next step in diagnosis is a 12 lead ECG which can be performed in the doctors ’ office over a short period of time however this is often non-conclusive in diagnosis because it is not very sensitive and there is only a small chance of a premature ventricular contraction occurring in the short period of time.

This increases the likelihood of a premature ventricular contraction occurring during the recording period and is therefore more useful in diagnosis.

When looking at an electrocardiograph premature ventricular contractions are easily spotted and therefore a definitive diagnosis can be made.

PVCs can be distinguished from premature atrial contractions because the compensatory pause is longer following premature ventricular contractions.

There are two main physiological explanations for premature ventricular contractions: re-entrant signalling and “ enhanced automaticity in some ectopic focus ”.

They are likely to have “ flip flopping ” sensations where it feels like the heart is flipping over or pounding due to there being a pause after the premature contraction and then a powerful contraction after the pause.

When a pukinje fiber does fire, it is called a premature ventricular contraction or PVC.

In general, a palpitation can be one of 2 types of beats, a premature atrial contraction, or a premature ventricular contraction.

# Cardiac dysrhythmias ( premature atrial contraction, junctional escape beat, premature ventricular contraction, atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, heart block ).

This can be seen most dramatically in the case of premature ventricular contraction.
