Why the study?
Premature ventricular contractions in the absence of structural heart disease are common arrhythmias with well-defined ventricular sites of origin requiring structured evaluation and management.
This review outlines a stepwise approach to the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of idiopathic premature ventricular contractions based on their electrocardiographic site of origin.
May guide ECG-based localization of idiopathic PVCs; leaves open need for prospective outcome validation.
Premature ventricular contractions in the absence of structural heart disease are among the most common arrhythmias in clinical practice, with well-defined sites of origin in the right and left ventricle. In this review, starting from the electrocardiographic localization of premature ventricular contractions, we investigated the mechanisms, prevalence in the general population, diagnostic work-up, prognosis and treatment of premature ventricular contractions, according to current scientific evidence.
