Key result
Disappearance of ventricular extrasystoles during baseline training significantly predicted long-term VE reduction (which occurred in 34% of athletes; P=0.0319).
Why the study?
What factors predict the spontaneous reduction or variability of ventricular extrasystoles in athletes over time?

p-value: p=0.0319
In athletes with frequent ventricular extrasystoles, the disappearance of VE during training is a useful predictor of long-term VE reduction.

May aid VE prognostication in athletes; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Caselli et al. (2012) conducted a cohort in Ventricular extrasystoles (n=95). Clinical and electrocardiographic factors (including DVET and BVE) was evaluated on DVE (VE reduction of at least 98%/24 h in the absence of VC or VT) and SDVE (standard deviation of the number of VE on serial 24-h-HMs) (p=0.0319). Disappearance of ventricular extrasystoles during baseline training significantly predicted long-term VE reduction (which occurred in 34% of athletes; P=0.0319).
