Dear Ma'm
Thanks for writing to HCM.
Yes, Indeed PVCs are common in general population. By an estimate, at a given day, ~2/3rd of population will have some degree of PVCs. Next step in their management is to rule out a structural heart disease by cardiac ultrasound.They are treated only if patient is symptomatic.
The large majority of patients have normal cardiac ultrasound and they do not have any symptoms. Thus they do not require any further work-up or treatment.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely
