Introduction: Background: Extrasystole is a common reason for visits to general practitioners. In cardiological literature, supraventricular extrasystole in particular tends to play a minor role. This article discusses the current state of knowledge and common practice for this frequently encountered clinical problem. Question: Due to increasing health awareness among the population and the use of new diagnostic technologies (e.g. smartwatches), there has been an increase in GP consultations among young and healthy patients with symptomatic or asymptomatic extrasystole. Comorbidities play a decisive role in this clinical picture. This review provides an overview of supraventricular and ventricular extrasystoles and explicitly addresses the question of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in the context of extrasystoles in healthy young people. Methodology: A targeted literature search was conducted in the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane and Library databases using the search terms: Extrasystole, supraventricular extrasystoles, ventricular extrasystoles, arrhythmia, tachycardia, ambulatory ECG monitoring, premature ventricular complex (PVC), premature atrial complex (PAC), heart rate variability, Holter ECG monitoring, taking into account the current guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).

Antiarrhythmic therapy plays a purely symptomatic role in the treatment of extrasystoles and has no prognostic benefit. Catheter ablation has become increasingly important in recent years and is the first-line treatment for symptomatic, idiopathic ventricular extrasystoles from the RVOT and left bundle branch in the current ESC guidelines from 2022.
