Key result
Medical management of underlying risk factors successfully diminished heavy premature ventricular contraction burden without the need for electrophysiology intervention or antiarrhythmic medications.
Why the study?
Can medical control of risk factors reduce heavy PVC burden without electrophysiology intervention in patients with palpitations?

Can medical control of risk factors reduce heavy PVC burden without electrophysiology intervention in patients with palpitations?
Medical management of underlying risk factors can effectively reduce heavy PVC burden, potentially avoiding the need for antiarrhythmic drugs or electrophysiology procedures.
PVCs, or premature ventricular complexes, are prevalent diagnoses in the general population and frequently show up incidentally in people. The sense of "skipped beats" might be brought on by PVCs emanating from ectopic ventricular nuclei. People with underlying cardiovascular illness, and electrolyte abnormalities such as hypomagnesemia, hypokalemia, and Vitamin D deficiency, as well as elderly adults, were shown to have a greater prevalence of PVC. We represent two instances of PVCs, one in a 33-year-old male and one in a 50-year-old woman, both of whom attended with sensations of palpitations, risk factors were determined, medically appropriately controlled, and the PVCs burden was diminished without intervention. Mitigating the use of antiarrhythmic medications and averting unnecessary electrophysiology procedures can be accomplished.

Alsultan et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs) (n=2). Medical management of risk factors was evaluated on Reduction in PVC burden. Medical management of underlying risk factors successfully diminished heavy premature ventricular contraction burden without the need for electrophysiology intervention or antiarrhythmic medications.
