PVC most commonly refers to a **premature ventricular contraction**, an early heartbeat that starts in the heart’s lower chambers (the ventricles). It is a type of **ectopic beat**, meaning it comes from an “extra” electrical focus rather than the heart’s usual pacemaker. PVC is frequently discussed in cardiology because it can be felt as palpitations and can appear on routine heart rhythm testing. Clinicians use the term PVC in ECG interpretation, ambulatory monitoring reports, and arrhythmia evaluations.
