runs of bigeminy
THough I agree with texjax on bigeminy, I am enetring a separate answer to capture the 'cicli' part. 'Cycles' is not idiomatic in English.

Discussion
Bigeminy (Latin: bi-two, gemini-twins) is a descriptor for a heart arrhythmia in which there is a **continuous alternation** of long and short heart beats.
The term "bigeminy" is typically used to describe when normal sinus beats **alternate** with premature ventricular beats.
Bigeminy is the occurrence of a PVC **every other** beat.
