総VE数: 200 回

Japanese to English Medical Medical (general)
Hi, to give some context, this is on a report for a treadmill test ECG, on the maximum ST depression summary. It is listed under heart rate, blood pressure, DP (double product). 'VE ( 回)' also appears on a graph with DP (x 1000) and PWTT (x 10ms). I could translate it as total VE count, but if anyone could shed light on it, I would greatly appreciate it.
Proposed translations (English)
3 Total VE Count: 200 times

I have found 'VE' to indicate minute ventilation; however, if so, '回' does not make sense.

Total VE Count: 200 times

It means the test counted 200 ventricular ectopic beats (heartbeats that start in the lower part of the heart) during the treadmill ECG test.

I found an explanation on VE beats (心室性期外収縮) here: https://tsurukamekai.jp/blog/20210315.html

Based on this explanation, "回" in this context refers to a single heartbeat, rather than its typical meaning of "times."
Note from asker:
Hi Andy, Thanks for your response. I had also thought of ventricular ectopy, but has some doubts because I thought that 200 beats was excessively high.
Something went wrong...
