Idiopathic malignant premature ventricular contractions
Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2018The presence of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) in patients with structurally normal hearts was once considered a benign phenomenon. However, in susceptible patients, these "benign" or idiopathic PVCs may develop malignant potential and trigger ventricular fibrillation and result in sudden cardiac death.

On the detection of Premature Ventricular Contractions
2008 30th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2008Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVC) are a cardiac arrhythmia that can be associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiac events such as ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death. Therefore, the characterization of this arrhythmia becomes crucial in the early diagnosis and prevention of possible life threatening cardiac diseases.

Rhythmic Premature Ventricular Contractions
American Journal of Critical Care, 2005Scenario: This is a bedside ECG strip of lead I and the accompanying arterial waveform in a 24-year-old female trauma patient. She presented 24 hours earlier to the emergency department after an all-terrain vehicle accident in which she sustained multiple injuries to her head, neck, torso, abdomen, and limbs.

Premature Ventricular Contractions and Cardiomyopathy
Cardiology in Review, 2019Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are a common arrhythmia that may cause symptoms of variable severity. PVCs have recently garnered interest in their ability to induce adverse structural heart remodeling in an entity known as PVC-induced cardiomyopathy.

Focus on malignant ventricular premature contractions
Annales de Cardiologie et d'Angéiologie, 2023Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are common. Although often benign, they can also be associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The aim of this review was to assess the risk evaluation of PVCs in patients with or without structural heart disease and discuss the management of this arrhythmia.

Approach to Management of Premature Ventricular Contractions
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2019Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are arrhythmias with presentation ranging from asymptomatic and benign to symptomatic, frequent and capable of inducing cardiomyopathy. Work in the late 1970s-1980s showed that they could be representative of underlying coronary artery disease, hypertension, or left ventricular hypertrophy.

PRODUCTION OF PREMATURE VENTRICULAR CONTRACTIONS BY RAUWOLFIA
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1955Alkaloids of Rauwolfia serpentina (Ophioxylon serpentinum) are currently enjoying great popularity for treatment of a wide variety of disorders, ranging from insanity to various forms of hypertension. While this drug has been in use for many years in India, a large pharmacological literature is not available. Allen and co-workers, in discussing its use

Premature ventricular contraction-induced cardiomyopathy
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2016There has been a resurgent interest in frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) led by the novel concept that they may be a potential cause of, or at least contribute to, cardiomyopathy. This review evaluates recent advances in our understanding of PVC-induced cardiomyopathy.Recent studies have focused on identifying the predictors of PVC ...

Inhibition of Premature Ventricular Contractions by Desflurane
Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2015substantial increase in the number of procedures performed in the cardiac electrophysiology (EP) laboratory. Currently, no consensus or evidence-based recommendations exist regarding the type of anesthetic or anesthetic agents and drugs used to best facilitate radiofrequency (RF) ablation of tachyarrhythmias.
