Supports PVC suppression in unexplained cardiomyopathy; leaves open need for prospective trials to confirm reversal.
Does suppression of frequent PVCs improve myocardial function and symptoms in patients with PVC-associated cardiomyopathy?
Frequent PVCs are a reversible cause of dilated cardiomyopathy, and their suppression via ablation or antiarrhythmic drugs can lead to resolution of myocardial dysfunction.
Laplante et al. (2016) studied this question.
