My problem of v. Ectopy of 2982 on Holter and being treated with Cordarone 100 mg for 5 years, as preventive for ventricular tachycardias. Recently, reduced to 50 mg due to QT >500msec. On random ECGs at 2 monthly intervals, no PVCs are to be noted. On Cardivas 3.125 mg daily. PR 265ms, QT 458 ms, HR 51bpm (5/16/18) Is it necessary to continue Cordarone? BP 130/90.

Hi, Few patients of ventricular ectopic should receive cordarone, as the medicine has multiple effects. V. Script is not a disease, it occurs often in healthy people. I suggest you discuss with a cardiologist, or give me a call.
