What Does VPC Stand For?
VPC stands for Ventricular Premature Contraction
Ventricular Premature Contraction (VPC) refers to an abnormal heartbeat originating in the ventricles, characterized by an early heartbeat that disrupts the regular heart rhythm. VPCs can occur in healthy individuals as well as those with underlying heart conditions. While often benign and asymptomatic, frequent VPCs may indicate the need for medical evaluation to assess potential risks or associated cardiovascular issues.
