Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) - Mayo Clinic
2022年4月30日 · In a typical heart rhythm, a tiny cluster of cells at the sinus node sends out an electrical signal. The signal then travels through the atria to the atrioventricular (AV) node and into the ventricles, causing them to contract and pump blood. PVCs are irregular contractions that start in the ventricles instead of the atria.
