Premature Ventricular Contractions. Description. Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are beats which are initiated in the ventricles or lower chambers of the heart, prematurely. As opposed to PACs, when the SA node (the natural pacemaker of the heart) gets interrupted, PVCs do not interrupt the SA node.
slide 1 of 9. What are PVCs? Premature ventricular complexes are irregular heartbeats caused by the ventricles (the lower heart chambers) contracting earlier than normal. When the heart beats normally, the sinoatrial node in the right atrium (upper chamber) sends an electrical impulse across the atria to the ventricles, causing them to contract.
