Brief Answer: A placebo effect... Detailed Answer: Hi, I went through the details of this "Emergen C" product. It is listed to contain different nutrients and antioxidants. These are helpful in lowering cholesterol and other risk factors. These useful effects on a long run does contribute to lowering risks of heart attack. However I wasn't able to find any ingredient that would lower PVC occurrence. Perhaps you felt better from the placebo effects of this product. You can continue using it. The listed ingredients wouldn't cause significant side effects. It wouldn't harm you. Hope I answered your questions. Let me know if you need more informations'. Regards
