PVCs and Ventricular Ectopy — ECG Academy Lesson

Identify ventricular ectopy patterns, classify risk features, and escalate when PVC burden or morphology becomes dangerous.

Learning Objectives

• Identify PVC morphology and timing on telemetry strips
• Classify ectopy patterns such as isolated PVCs, couplets, bigeminy, trigeminy, and runs
• Recognize R-on-T and multifocal PVCs as higher-risk findings
• Escalate when ventricular ectopy burden increases or transitions toward VT
