Cardiology

1. An arrhythmia in which 2 normal QRS complexes are followed by a PVC; this rhythm usually does not progress to dangerous forms of fast ventricular rhythms; in this rhythm, two VPCs never occur one right after the other.

2. A group of 3 beats, usually a sinus beat followed by 2 extrasystoles Etiology Digitalis toxicity, dizziness, caffeine. See Premature ventricular contraction.
