Between Sept 1982 and Oct 1984, we diagnosed premature ventricular contractions(PVCs) in 9 newborns and infants (3M/6F). CXRs were obtained in 6 patients(pts) and ...

Idiopathic premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) may cause subtle changes in left atrium (LA) structure and function. The authors of an article published in Cardiovascular Innovations and ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Among asymptomatic patients without a history of CVD, high-grade premature ventricular contractions during the ...

Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is a type of abnormal heartbeat, or arrhythmia. It happens when the heartbeat begins in the lower, rather than the upper, heart chambers. This creates an ...

A healthy 33-year-old woman with no cardiac risk factors feels thumps or skipped beats in her chest a few times a day regardless of activity. An event recorder showed premature ventricular ...

Premature ventricular contractions are a risk factor for heart failure. Premature ventricular contractions may be a modifiable risk factor for heart failure and death. Premature ventricular ...

WASHINGTON, DC — A higher percentage of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) predicted a dropoff in LV ejection fraction and a greater risk of incident heart failure and mortality in a long-term ...

People who experience high-grade premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) during the recovery period following exercise may be a higher risk for later cardiovascular mortality, a new study suggests.

In the last few weeks, the Skeptical Cardiologist has had a run on with patients with premature atrial contractions (PACs). I've discussed in detail premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) here and ...

Palpitations due to premature beats, either ventricular contractions (PVCs) or atrial contractions (PACs), can be extremely vexing even when we know they are benign. For many individuals, these ...
