Premature Ventricular Complexes

JAMA, 1984
APPROXIMATELY every minute in the United States, one person dies of sudden cardiac death. This accounts for more than one half of all deaths due to coronary artery disease, a disease that also commonly displays the syndromes of angina pectoris and acute myocardial infarction.

Treatment of premature ventricular complexes with acebutolol

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1979
The effect of intravenous acebutolol versus saline solution on frequent premature ventricular complexes was evaluated in a double-blind, randomized study in 20 patients, including 3 with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Frequent premature ventricular complexes were abolished or reduced by 75% or more in none of 12 patients given saline solution ...

Premature Ventricular Beats with Narrow QRS Complexes

Acta Medica Scandinavica, 1976
ABSTRACT A case is presented with premature ventricular beats with narrow QRS complexes. The arrhythmia is discussed on the basis of an ECG recording with 12 simultaneous ECG leads.

The Ventricular Premature Complex

2020
In this chapter the author discusses the historical aspects, prevalence, clinical presentation of the ventricular premature complex (VPC) including VPC-related cardiomyopathy, as well as the types and origin of VPCs, and the treatment of benign and malignant forms of VPCs.

Variability of Ventricular Premature Complexes and Mortality Risk

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 1996
A method using a parameter from the field of nonlinear dynamics to quantify the variability of ventricular premature complexes (VPCs) is presented. One hundred patients with coronary artery disease and ≥ 10 VPCs/hour were included in the studv. The RR intervals were plotted in a three‐dimensional artificial phase space, and the structures in phase ...

Same morphology of ventricular premature complexes triggering repeated ventricular fibrillation

Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology, 2010
Episodes ventricular fibrillation (VF) initiated by ventricular premature complexes (VPCs) of a single morphology have been reported. However, the characteristics of the VPCs over long periods of time are unknown.To compare the morphologies and coupling intervals of VPCs that initiate episodes of VF that occur at different time periods.The database of ...

Relation between premature ventricular complexes and development of ventricular tachycardia

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1973
Continuous cardiac monitoring has been an integral part of the concept of the coronary care unit during the past decade, permitting physicians to observe the relation between premature ventricular complexes and the occurrence of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.

The timing of ventricular premature complexes initiating chronic ventricular tachycardia

Journal of Electrocardiology, 1984
Prematurity index (PI), defined as the ratio of the coupling to QT intervals of isolated ventricular premature complexes (VPC) and those initiating ventricular tachycardia (VT) on 24-hour ambulatory ECG recording, was examined in 496 episodes of VT occurring in 122 patients.

Management of premature ventricular complexes.

Missouri medicine, 2010
Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are frequently encountered, and management is determined by symptoms, precipitating factors, and the presence of underlying cardiac disease. No treatment is indicated in patients with asymptomatic PVCs in absence of cardiac disease.
