Hi @pbr
Thank you for sharing your symptoms.
My father is also having the same symptoms. A month after a myocardial ischemia and 2 stents, he is experiencing frequent PVCs. Although he has been prescribed bisoprolol the PVCs have become even more frequent.
He used to have the PVCs before the surgery for about a year or so, as a result of coronary arteries disease, I guess. but the matter is they never were this frequent before.
Can anyone please help with the question that why the prescribed medication might not be working?

Hello @lumina and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am so happy to read that you have found the information shared by @pbr to be helpful.

As for your question on why a prescribed medication might not be working, I may suggest the information found under the "Treatment" section of this web page. Radiofrequency catheter ablation is mentioned for PVCs that don't respond to lifestyle changes or medications.

Does your dad plan to be seen again by his Cardiologist to explore why his current treatment plan might not be working any longer?
