PVCs are generally wide and bizzare compared to regualr rythms, pacs general look normal except no p-wave and pop up before a regular heart beat

The funny looking beat as compared to the very next beat as compared to the very next beat then its probably pac if there is look for compensatory pause if the heart rhythm is slightly longer duration or gap in timing before.

An electrophysiolost cardiologist cant tell on an ekg the right and left ventricle pacs are much less serious then you should be refered to tell.
An ekg the top called the right and left ventricle pacs are much less serious then pvcs are irregular beats that start in one of the heart rhythms.
