Key result
CMR detects concealed structural heart disease in patients with high PVC burden and normal echocardiography.
Why the study?
PVCs can represent the epiphenomenon of concealed structural heart disease not detected by conventional echocardiography, warranting an overview of the role of CMR in patients with frequent PVCs and normal echocardiograms.
Does Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) improve the detection of concealed structural heart disease in patients with frequent premature ventricular contractions and normal echocardiography?
Population
Patients with high daily burden of PVCs and normal echocardiographic evaluation
Comparison
CMR evaluation in the setting of normal echocardiography

May support CMR in high-burden PVC patients with normal echo and high-risk features; extends observational data but leaves outcome impact open.
Systematic Review
Does Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) improve the detection of concealed structural heart disease in patients with frequent premature ventricular contractions and normal echocardiography?
CMR is a valuable imaging tool for detecting concealed structural heart disease in patients with frequent PVCs and normal echocardiograms, particularly when high-risk clinical or EKG features are present.
Basile et al. (2024) conducted a systematic review in Frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) vs. Conventional echocardiography was evaluated on Detection of concealed structural heart disease (SHD). Cardiac magnetic resonance detects concealed structural heart disease in patients with a high burden of premature ventricular contractions and normal echocardiography.
