    Premature ventricular contractions (PVC) are one of the most common heart rhythmdisturbances in the overall population. Most of them are benign and do not harm the usual life and everyday activities in the population. The individual feeling and the perception of the sensation they occur is different in every person and varies between no sensation to fluttering, pounding or jumping, skipped beats or missed beats, all of which can increase awareness of the heartbeat. The importance of these premature ventricular beats rises especially among the athlete population and sportsmen because some of them may be the result of underlying heart disease which can be life threatening. Conclusion: Prompt diagnosis and adequate evaluation of these extra heart beats has a pivotal role and is the most important determinant in further sport involvement for the athletes with PVCs.

    The management of occupational asthma (OA) may be influenced by several factors and removal from exposure is the main tertiary prevention approach, but it is not always feasible without personal and socioeconomic consequences. Reducing the delay between the onset of suggestive symptoms of OA and the diagnosis of OA is associated with a better prognosis. Workers' education to increase awareness to trigger agents and a medical surveillance program directed especially at at-risk workers could be helpful in reducing this latency time. An early identification of workers who develop rhinitis and conjunctivitis which often precede the onset of asthma symptoms could be important for an early identification of OA. This is particularly important for cases of asthma caused by high-molecular-weight sensitizers and in the early years of employment. The availability of financial support and compensation measures for workers with OA may influence the latency time before diagnosis and, consequently, may influence the OA outcomes. In conclusion, there is a need for high-quality cohort studies that will increase knowledge about risk factor that may influence the timing of diagnosis of OA. This knowledge will be useful for implementation of future surveillance and screening programs in workplaces.
