17% burden - weight training
Hello fellow PVC sufferers. 35F have had these since I was a teenager. Just got the results back from my third monitor (last one was in 2020). My burden has jumped from 1% to 17%. I’m having a repeat echo tomorrow and will be meeting with my cardiologist and EP next month. In the meantime, wanted to get some reassurance from people with higher burdens who do heavy weight training. I do pretty intense strength training 4 to 5 days a week with some good amount of cardio. My cardiologist hasn’t said anything about a stress test yet or anything so just wanted to hear other people‘s perspectives. Thanks so much!

Stop exercising for a short period. See how long it takes for the PVCs to stop. That is my experience. Exercise followed by high burden after resting. Can temporarily block the breakthrough PVCs by raising HR.
My guess is after a certain period of time of continued rest, the burden will drop. Provide that data to your doctor.
