Palpitations are the term used to describe fast, irregular heartbeat sensations felt by the patient. They may or may not be associated with complaints of chest pain. Polarizations are not related to heartbeats. Precordial beats are normal heartbeats that can be felt on the chest. PVCs (premature ventricular contractions) are extra heartbeats that occur in the ventricles, which can cause palpitations.
