PVC's during exercise stress test

I saw my report from 2 years ago and it says:

"rare PVCs during exercise."

What does this mean? Is it a bad thing?

Does it have anything to do with the NSVT the doctors found a year later?

Rare PVCs during exercise: I'm not sure what "rare" is in numbers but I guess it's just a couple or a few PVCs. That's nothing to worry about. If you had more than 10% PVCs during exercise, that's from what I understand slightly concerning.

The biphasic T waves is something you may discuss with your doctor who knows the report in detail. It may be something that follows ST depression but it may also be coincidental. I think "biphasic" means a T wave that's both positive and negative. If it just means "double" it may be the next P wave merging with the T wave, but that's just speculations from me.

Sorry..

That's normal and more the rule rather than exception in young men :)

It did mention something about ST.

It said "Baseline ECG: Normal sinus rhythm andnon specific ST abnormalities. Repolarization variant."

and "No significant ST-segment shifts occured"

I forgot to add that the report also said:

"Biphasic T waves noted at peak HR"

Is that bad?

I can't say for certain but I would think it would mean that they were sporadic?  You had them but not a whole lot of them.  Sometimes doctors use terms that sound worse then they really are.  If you want to be certain ask your cardiologist.
