Ventricular premature beats are a very common condition in daily life, so many patients often ask their doctors this question: Are my ventricular premature beats severe? This needs to be analyzed based on the specific issue and circumstances.
First, if there is no structural heart disease, these premature beats are generally known as functional ventricular premature beats, which are usually not serious and do not endanger life safety.
Second, if there is concomitant structural heart disease, such as coronary heart disease or cardiomyopathy, then these ventricular premature beats are generally considered risky, and it is necessary to take medication or undergo surgery under the guidance of a doctor.
