Because I am a certified cardiologist. A-fib is not a permanent condition, just dangerous if a bout is prolonged for more than two months, the age of the sufferer is 35+ and also has accompanying contraction issues. The only major complication from prolonged A-fib is the chance of a stroke, but the condition would be so unbearable at this point it would be impossible to tolerate.
PVCs, on the other hand, are completely normal and safe from easy knowledge of the hearts' electrical system. Ask for an echo to make sure the hearts' structure is normal and can take them. About 1/4 of the population have them.
