Background A 44-year-old female presented with a long history of chest pain, palpitations and increasing dyspnea. Electrocardiography and 24 h Holter monitoring revealed multiple premature ventricular ...

ROCHESTER, NY — About a third of patients with nonischemic disease in a major cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) trial had cardiomyopathy related to premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) that ...

In a small study, patients who underwent left ventricular catheter ablation for premature ventricular complexes were more likely to have subclinical brain emboli after the procedure than those who ...

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 ...

Catheter ablation for irregular heartbeats is mainstream and becoming even more common, with well more than 235,000 such procedures performed annually. Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are ...

A common treatment for irregular heartbeats known as catheter ablation may result in the formation of brain lesions when it is performed on the left side of the heart, according to new research at UC ...

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) bested aspirin for cerebrovascular prevention after left ventricular (LV) arrhythmia ablation, the STROKE-VT trial showed. The anticoagulants eliminated stroke ...
