High Burden of Premature Ventricular Complex Increases the Risk of New‐Onset Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]
Background High burden of premature ventricular complex (PVC) leads to increased cardiovascular mortality. A recent nationwide population‐based study demonstrated that PVC is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF).

Assessment of atrial conduction times in patients with frequent premature ventricular complex [PDF]
Background Premature ventricular complex (PVC) is a frequent finding in the general population. The atrial conduction time (ACT) is the period between the electrocardiographic P wave and the atrial mechanical contraction, and its prolongation indicates ...

Premature Ventricular Complex–Induced Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Premature ventricular complex-induced cardiomyopathy is a potentially reversible condition in which left ventricular dysfunction is induced by the occurrence of frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVCs). Various cellular and extracellular mechanisms and risk factors for developing cardiomyopathy in this context have been suggested but the exact ...

Does Premature Ventricular Complex Impair Left Ventricular Diastolic Functions? [PDF]
Background: A higher frequency of premature ventricular complexes is associated with a higher risk of premature ventricular complex-induced cardiomyopathy. Although there are several studies on the systolic functions of the left ventricle in this patient

Posterolateral Premature Ventricular Complex Manifest as Posteroseptal Premature Ventricular Complex: A Case Report. [PDF]
Premature ventricular complex (PVC) is one of the most common arrhythmias detected in young patients. We report a case of a young patient with symptomatic high-burden PVC suspected to originate from the posterior right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) who underwent an electrophysiology study (EPS) and was subsequently successfully ablated with markedly

The Ubiquitous Premature Ventricular Complex. [PDF]
Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are one of the most commonly encountered arrhythmias and are ubiquitous in clinical practice, both in the outpatient and inpatient settings. They are often discovered incidentally in asymptomatic patients, however, can cause myriad symptoms acutely and chronically.

Pathophysiological Mechanisms of Premature Ventricular Complexes [PDF]
Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are the most common ventricular arrhythmia. Despite the high prevalence, the cause of PVCs remains elusive in most patients.

Premature Ventricular Complex Causing Ice-Pick Headache [PDF]
Ice pick headache is a momentary, transient, repetitive headache disorder and manifests with the stabbing pains and jolts. The exact mechanism causing this disease is unknown. Premature ventricular contractions are early depolarization of the ventricular

We present a case of ventricular fibrillation triggered by a premature ventricular complex. During ablation from the left coronary cusp, the ablation catheter dislodged inside left main coronary artery, thus resulting in cardiac arrest.

Specific Premature Ventricular Complex Characteristics in Women: Insights from a Patient Cohort [PDF]
Background: Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are common arrhythmias that can range from benign to clinically significant. While PVCs have been extensively studied in the general population, gender-specific differences in their characteristics ...
