Key result
Catheter ablation effectively treats symptomatic PVCs and PVC-induced cardiomyopathy alongside standard pharmacologic therapy.
Why the study?
Premature ventricular contractions are common arrhythmias with clinical implications ranging from benign symptoms to cardiomyopathy or malignant arrhythmias, requiring clear diagnostic evaluation and management strategies.
This review outlines contemporary management strategies for premature ventricular contractions, highlighting the roles of medical therapy, catheter ablation, and emerging technologies.

Ablation effective for symptomatic PVCs and cardiomyopathy; extends review evidence but leaves open need for randomized trials on emerging therapies.
Elattar et al. (2026) conducted a review in Premature ventricular contractions. Medical therapy and catheter ablation was evaluated. Management of premature ventricular contractions ranges from pharmacologic therapy to catheter ablation, which is an effective treatment for symptomatic PVCs and PVC-induced cardiomyopathy.
