Cardiac ablation in premature ventricular contraction-induced cardiomyopathy

Cardiac ablation in premature ventricular contraction-induced cardiomyopathy

Introduction: Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is commonly seen on routine electrocardiograms. Most are deemed benign and inconsequential. However, in some patients with ventricular ectopic, left ventricular (LV) impairment is observed on imaging. This study aims to investigate whether suppre...

Zusammenfassung:Introduction: Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is commonly seen on routine electrocardiograms. Most are deemed benign and inconsequential. However, in some patients with ventricular ectopic, left ventricular (LV) impairment is observed on imaging. This study aims to investigate whether suppression of PVC with cardiac ablation is effective at improving ejection fraction (EF) of patients with PVC-induced LV impairment. Methods: Retrospective data were collected from a single centre from 2015 to 2022. The study included patients with LV impairment (ejection fraction [EF]
