Ventricular premature beats often have no specific symptoms, whether there are symptoms and the severity of the symptoms depend on the individual's feeling, and are not directly related to the frequency of the ventricular premature beats. Some people may experience noticeable symptoms even with only a few premature beats. Others might have many premature beats but no symptoms, and ventricular premature beats may only be discovered during a physical examination or when consulting for other diseases. Ventricular premature beats are generally characterized by palpitations, a feeling of skipped beats or a sensation of rapid elevator movements akin to a loss of weight or a forceful heart beat after compensatory pause, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and chest tightness. Patients with severe organic heart disease who experience frequent long-term ventricular premature beats may develop angina, hypotension, or heart failure.
