Hello Slowtwitch!
I've had benign PVC's with a pretty high burden for about 4 years, which began as my Ironman fitness came down.
Been fully checked out, given green light 5 months ago to do Ironman again if I desired. Been training since, 80/20, likely really 90/10, very long sessions, very little intensity.
My PVC burden is going way down, to the point where I doubt my likely future ablation surgery would be needed. Used to be every 3rd beat was a double beat followed by pause at rest, now it's just a pause averaging 15-20 normal beats- to me this is totally normal heart rhythm.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is it training related, or fluke of nature? Did I get COVID unknowingly early in 2020 which caused all of this?
Mainly, had anyone else reversed their PVC burden successfully without intervention?
Thanks, and good training to all!
Andy
