Key result
The provided abstract contains only background information regarding a novel PVC and PAC detection algorithm in an implantable cardiac monitor, with no study results reported.
Why the study?
Frequent PVCs warrant treatment and predict heart failure, ejection fraction reduction, and mortality, highlighting the need for ectopy detection in implantable cardiac monitors.
Additional ICM parameters may aid detection; leaves open need for validation before clinical adoption.
Insertable cardiac monitors (ICMs) are routinely used for diagnosing cardiac arrhythmias due to the advantages of long-term continuous monitoring and the ability to provide data on a daily basis.1 ICMs are currently indicated for diagnosing syncope, palpitations, suspected atrial fibrillation (AF) after cryptogenic stroke, and AF management.2,3 Recently, additional diagnostic information such as temperature and ectopy count have been provided to further improve clinical care.4 Recent guidelines recommend treatment in patients with frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs),5,6 and PVC burden has been shown to be predictive of incident congestive heart failure (HF), ejection fraction reduction, and mortality.
