Abstract:
Premature ventricular complex (PVC)-induced cardiomyopathy is due to frequent PVCs and it can be potentially reversible in selected patients resolves after catheter ablation.PVCs burden is importantly associated with impaired left ventricular(LV) function.Necessary evaluation is important for PVCs patients.For patients with high PVC burdens above 15％-25％ of the total cardiac beats in 24 hours,medical treatment should be used to reduce PVC burden and to improve LV function.Catheter ablation of PVCs is recommended for selected patients with high PVC burdens associated with a decline in LV systolic function.
