What Are Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs)?
Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs) refer to early heartbeats originating from the ventricles, the lower chambers of the heart. In the context of neonatal disorders, PVCs can be particularly concerning due to the delicate and developing nature of a neonate's cardiovascular system. These contractions are characterized by an abnormal electrical impulse, which causes the heart to beat earlier than expected.
