Thank you for the reply it is much appreciated.

I’m currently under investigation for this and as a result Class 1 OML Multicrew.

I am completely asymptomatic but this was picked up by a yearly ECG (Premature Ventricular contractions). I’ve had follow up with Holter, Stress ECG, Echo and MRI. My understanding is the grey zone between athletes heart & cardiomyopathy is the concern. As I am extremely fit the chances are that this is athletes heart. Is genetic testing a possible way to differentiate?

I’d be interested to speak to anyone who has gone through the ongoing cardiology review.

Are beta blockers a sensible option to reduce the PVC burden?

Thanks
