Management of premature ventricular complexes
Heart, 2021### Learning objectives Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are the most common arrhythmias in daily practice. At the cellular level, ventricular myocytes spontaneously depolarise to create an extrasystole ‘out of sync’ with the cardiac cycle.1 The prevalence depends on the characteristics and comorbidities of the population, the method by which ...

Premature Ventricular Complexes and Premature Ventricular Complex Induced Cardiomyopathy
Current Problems in Cardiology, 2015Presentation, prognosis, and management of premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) vary significantly among patients and depend on PVC characteristics as well as patient comorbidities. Presentation can range from incidental discovery in an asymptomatic patient to debilitating heart failure.

Ethmozine for ventricular premature complexes
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1986Twenty patients with an average of more than 30 ventricular premature complexes (VPCs) per hour were treated with ethmozine. Eighteen had either not responded or had adverse reactions to at least 1 other antiarrhythmic drug. Patients were treated with 200 to 300 mg 3 times daily (8.25 to 11.7 mg/kg) and were followed for up to 6 months.

Are those Premature Ventricular Complexes?!
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2014Ventricular parasystole has been known to be a benign rhythm. We present a case of a 53-year-old man with chest pain and ventricular parasystole on electrocardiogram upon initial presentation. He was admitted and found to have normal serial cardiac enzymes and nuclear stress testing. He was discharged home with primary care follow-up. We highlight this

Isolated congenital right ventricular diverticulum with ventricular premature complexes
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1988Abstract Congenital right ventricular (RV) diverticulum is a rare disorder in which a localized torus protrudes from the RV free wall due to congenital factors. There are 2 types of diverticula, muscular or fibrous. The lesion has been termed muscular or true diverticulum when it has a normal muscular structure or when it contracts functionally like ...

Premature Ventricular Complexes as a Trigger for Ventricular Fibrillation
Revista Española de Cardiología (English Edition), 2010The mechanisms that trigger ventricular fibrillation (VF) are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to analyze the initiation of VF in electrograms stored in implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs).We analyzed ICD electrograms from patients who had suffered at least one episode of VF.Of 250 patients with ICDs, 13 (10 male and 3 female ...

Premature Ventricular Complexes in Apparently Normal Hearts
Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics, 2016Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are consistently associated with worse prognosis and higher morbidity and mortality. This article reviews PVCs and their presentation in patients with an apparently normal heart. Patients with PVCs may be completely asymptomatic, whereas others may note severely disabling symptoms.

Hyperinsulinemia is associated with ventricular premature complexes
Metabolism, 1996The study investigated a possible association between fasting plasma insulin (FPI) levels and ventricular premature complexes (VPCs). One hundred eighty-six subjects without coronary artery disease (CAD), diabetes, hypertension, and left ventricular hypertrophy were recruited.

Premature Ventricular Complexes
JAMA, 1984APPROXIMATELY 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.
