Premature Ventricular Complexes as a Trigger for Ventricular Fibrillation

Revista Española de Cardiología (English Edition), 2010
The 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 ...

Risk Stratification in Patients with Frequent Premature Ventricular Complexes in the Absence of Known Heart Disease.

Heart Rhythm, 2020
BACKGROUND Frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) can be an indicator of structural heart disease. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of scarring detected by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (DE-CMR) in ...

Hyperinsulinemia is associated with ventricular premature complexes

Metabolism, 1996
The 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.

Mapping and Ablation of Premature Ventricular Complexes: State of the Art.

JACC Clinical Electrophysiology
Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are common arrhythmias in clinical practice. Although benign and asymptomatic in most cases, PVCs may result in disabling symptoms, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, or PVC-induced ventricular fibrillation ...

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 ...

The Premature Ventricular Complex as a Diagnostic Aid

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1992
Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) can provide clues to the physical or electrocardiographic diagnosis through the associated compensatory pause, the break in the regularity of the rhythm, or the morphology of the PVC itself. A PVC may allow visualization of the P wave or of atrial flutter waves that would otherwise be obscured in the ...

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.
