How many PVCS per minute is dangerous?

Answer by  carolinaK (5)

If you are not having chest pain or dizziness, pvc's are benign and the number per min doesn't matter. The heart resets itself. Pvc's are usually caused by electrolytic imbalances so get bloodwork done.

A PVC by itself is not generally considered especially dangerous, and are not incredibly uncommon. Unfortunately, a 'danger level' does vary between situations. They're common in aging. However, if you are having several per minute, this is indeed a dangerous situation. I would personally see a doctor if I was having any more than perhaps five in a minute.

the normal amount of pvcs for the heart to be experiencing is usually anywhere between 5 to 10 times per minute. though if one is suffering from a greater amount then these, even though they are not said to be dangerous, one should seek out medical care.

Pvc means premature ventricular contractions. More than 4-6 pvc's are danderous if there is a family h/o heart dis. Some food also can cause pvc's

Dangerous in minute is many. Its average is 20 to 48 PVC's per minute. It appears that up to 5 PVC's per minute are normal. I agree that the consensus is that they're not dangerous.
