Is active surveillance a safe and appropriate strategy for patients with frequent idiopathic PVCs and preserved LVEF?
Patients with frequent idiopathic premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) and normal/preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)
Active surveillance (untreated)
Development of left ventricular systolic dysfunction and spontaneous resolution of PVCs
Active surveillance is an appropriate management strategy for patients with frequent idiopathic PVCs and normal LVEF due to the low risk of progression to LV dysfunction.
A strategy of active surveillance is appropriate for the majority of patients with frequent idiopathic PVCs in association with preserved LVEF, owing to the low risk of developing left ventricular systolic dysfunction and the high rate of spontaneous resolution.
