Overview

Asymptomatic exercise-induced ectopy in fit adults may be benign; leaves open need for prospective risk-stratification studies.

Structured PICO

P
Population
A 32-year-old male pharmacist presenting with palpitations who demonstrated ventricular premature beats at rest that were eliminated by exercise.
E
Exposure
Exercise (daily running and weight lifting) and 24-hour Holter monitoring
C
Comparator
Rest
O
Outcome
Presence of ventricular arrhythmias during exercise versus restsurrogate

This case illustrates that exercise can eliminate ventricular ectopic beats occurring during rest or low-grade activity, a finding associated with a favorable prognosis.

Cite This Study

Futterman et al. (2006) conducted a case report in Palpitations and resting ventricular premature beats (n=1). Exercise vs. Rest was evaluated on Ventricular arrhythmias. Exercise eliminated ventricular ectopic beats occurring during rest or low-grade activity in a 32-year-old male, a finding rarely reported in the literature.
