I am learning a lot here! Getting my own holter in a couple weeks since they were out today. LOL! But in my city, it's best to stay out of the way of all buses. I learned that the hard way - fortunately I was in my car and it was slow moving. Never a dull moment....
Thanks all! I appreciate the responses.
I think that having that detailed a report is pretty awesome.
Avg heart rate was 63bpm. Pretty darn good. I believe they report the # of ectopics as a percent because I think there are tables or some such thing that once you hit a certain number of PVC beats as a percent of total beats, some form of treatment is recommended.
And you are waaay below the threshold for requiring any form of treatment.
If you want further tests for peace of mind, certainly have them done. Otherwise, stay out of the way of fast-moving buses and you'll live to a ripe old age.
Thanks-
I was just wondering because I had about the same amount in 24 hours. (278)
It felt like so many more than that.
So jbob098, my doctor said the same as yours. Nothing to worry about.

It says 273 ventricular ectopics, less than 1% of his total beats for the day. Looks like there were 217 singles and a few couplets. Then there were the PAC's. That's what I'm reading.
So does this read that he had 273 pvc's? Just wondering.

Your results sound pretty good - a few PVC's and PAC's, at most 4 in a row and the rate is quick but not enough to make you pass out.
Have you had an echo done to see if your heart is structurally normal? If it is, then those few ectopics throughout the day won't hurt you. You'll notice them but there's no harm done.
