Important advice. As a person who has PVCs and PACs I would say avoid anything that isn't medical grade and advised by your cardiologist/specialist doctor.

Sorry, what’s PVC and PAC in this context?

Probably Pre-Ventricular Contraction. And I guess Pre-Atrial Contraction.

PVCs and PACs are premature ventricular and atrial contractions. There is also some recent studies treating arrythmias with vegus nerve stimulation too that's why I'm saying youve really got to be careful.
