Dear Sir
Thanks for writing to HCM.
PVC, isolated, without symptoms and with any structural heart disease, are benign entities and should not be bothered about.
However if you feel you have any symptoms due to them or any symptoms due to your cardiac ailment (like shortness of breath, chest pain , vertigo, chest heaviness), you must consult your doctor.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely
Sukhvinder
