An echo can determine the valvular and ventricular function. During an EP study, catheters are inserted into the heart via blood vessels in the groin to map foci of PVC's. These PVC foci can often be eliminated through application of radio wave energy to the heart muscle. These are the two studies that are most likely to be recommended for your son, but you will have to see what the cardiologist that sees him thinks of the situation. I hope you find this information useful.
