Abstract
Ventricular parasystole has been known to be a benign rhythm. We present a case of a 53-year-old man with chest pain and ventricular parasystole on electrocardiogram upon initial presentation. He was admitted and found to have normal serial cardiac enzymes and nuclear stress testing. He was discharged home with primary care follow-up. We highlight this case, as ventricular parasystole has been shown to be associated with cardiovascular disease and is a rhythm that should not be ignored. Our review of the literature shows that a thorough cardiovascular investigation should take place when this rhythm is identified.Entities:
