[edit] Alcohol
Alcohol and tobacco are not "illicit substances." In fact, given that this a medical article and not one about the law or society, it's not clear why the legal status of cocaine and methamphetamine needs to be characterized. Therefore, I have deleted "illicit substances such as ...," so that the article now reads simply "include the use of cocaine ..." Essex9999 159.14.24.147 16:57, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- It might depend on what part of the world you're in. I believe that alcohol is banned in some very strict Muslim countries. WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:44, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] African Americans?
The article contains the following text: "... in large, population-based studies African Americans are known to have an increased occurrence of almost 30% compared with individuals of the Caucasian race." It is in appropriate for a global resource like Wikipedia to use such a US-centric term. --ChrisEich 00:22, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Do something..
To be honest I was shocked to find an article about a medical subject like this, with potential high importance to sufferers of this condition, without any sources whatsoever. I really think someone needs to patrol for articles like this and do something about it, unfortunately I am not in the medical business so I leave it to the appropriate community to tackle this.

[edit] "Throwing" PVCs
I have heard the term "Throwing PVCs" used to indicate that a patient has PVCs. Does anyone know about this? Josh 20:31, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
