Ventricular quadrigeminy is an unusual cardiac rhythm disorder characterized by a distinctive pattern in which every fourth heartbeat is a premature ventricular contraction (PVC). Unlike the regular rhythm seen in a healthy heart, ventricular quadrigeminy introduces a disruption with these premature contractions arising from the ventricles. This unique four-beat sequence sets it apart from typical cardiac rhythms. While the immediate health risks of ventricular quadrigeminy might be limited, it can signal an underlying heart condition, prompting the need for further assessment by a healthcare professional. The use of electrocardiograms (ECGs) is pivotal in monitoring and comprehending the cardiac rhythm, allowing for the identification and management of ventricular quadrigeminy to maintain optimal heart health.
