Does Lexapro Cause Premature Ventricular Contractions?

I have a history of PVCs. I took Cymbalta in the past and because it treated neuroepinephrine, they believe that is what caused the PVCs. i am now taking Lexapro. i have been for a couple of years and recently started having PVCs again. Is there a link between Lexapro & PVCs? thanks
