> PVCs and AFib are not mutually exclusive Right. I didn’t mean to imply that they were, just that the watch misinterpreted frequent PVCs as being afib. In my case, it was easy to determine that they were PVCs with a normal underlying rhythm because the underlying rhythm was steady like clockwork, and the PVCs were occurring in a telltale bigeminal pattern for a few seconds at a time. > Also, AFib seems to be less of a problem than high PVC counts I’m no doctor, but this doesn’t align with what I’ve been reading. It seems like they don’t even recommend treatment for PVCs most of the time unless they’re symptomatic. In extreme cases like mine (20,000/day), there’s a chance that it can weaken the heart over time, but I’m not sure how this compares to the risk of stroke for untreated afib sufferers. I’ve heard mentions of PVCs being an indicator for increased sudden cardiac death risk, but I can’t find any reference for this pertaining to people with otherwise normal hearts. I think it may be the case for people who have just had a heart attack or something though. From what I gather, occasional singleton PVCs are generally harmless and occur in almost everyone. Apparently, the issue arises when you start having multiple PVCs in a row without a regular beat in between. After three in a row, it’s considered non-sustained ventricular tachycardia, which is very dangerous, I guess because there’s a chance it might never stop? Once again, not a doctor, so please correct me if I’m wrong. This will probably show up in someone’s Google search one day.
