Prognostic significance of
frequent PVCs with normal LV function
•
•
•
•
239 pts with frequent PVCs (>1000 beats/day)
Structural heart disease was ruled out, FU period of 5.6 ys
no patients exhibited any serious cardiac events.
negative correlation between the PVC prevalence and DeltaLVEF
(p<0.001)
• positive correlation between the PVC prevalence and DeltaLVDd
(p<0.001).
• PVC prevalence and LVEF at the initial evaluation were
independent predicting the development of LV dysfunction (p<0.01)
Niwano S, et al. Heart, 2009, 95(15):1230-1237
PVC-CMP more easily attacked
in asymptomatic patients
The proportion of asymptomatic patients was significantly higher
in the presence of cardiomyopathy (36/76, 47%) than in normal
LV function (25/165, 15%)
Yokokawa M, et al. Heart Rhythm, 2012;9:92–95
Incidence of PVC-CMP
• Definition: LVEF of ≤50% in the absence of any detectable
underlying heart disease and improvement of LVEF≥15%
following effective treatment of index ventricular
• Incidence: 6.8% in patients with idiopathic ventricular
arrhythmias
• Predictors: gender, absence of symptoms, PVC burden,
the presence of repetitive monomorphic VT, and so on
Hasdemir C, et al. J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol, 2011,22:663-668
Sudden death increased
• prospective study,15 637 apparently healthy white men, 35
to 57 ys
• prevalence of any VPC was 4.4% (681 of 15,637)
• Over FU of 7.5 years, a total of 381 deaths occurred
• The presence of any VPC was associated with a
significantly higher risk for SCD (adjusted RR=3.0; P <
0.025)
• frequent (2 or more uniform VPCs every 2 minutes) or
complex (multiforms, pairs, runs, R-on-T) VPCs were at a
significantly increased risk of SCD (adjusted RR=4.2; P <
0.005)
Abdalla IS, et al. Am J Cardiol, 1987, 60:1036 -1042
Baseline examination from 1987 to 1989, 2-minute
rhythm strip of EKG
follow-up data collected until December 2002
14,574 subjects,130 incident cases of SCD
Participants with VPC were 2 times as likely to have SCD
compared to those without VPC (HR2.09, 95% CI1.22 to
3.56)

Characteristics of PVC-CMP
• Enlarged LVDd and CTR, reduced LVEF,
increased MR, and deteriorated NYHA functional
class
• PVC-CMP was resolved within 2 to 4 weeks after
discontinuation of PVCs
• No inflammation, fibrosis, or changes in apoptosis
and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation

Mechanism of PVC-CMP
• a short PVC coupling
• LV dyssynchrony during PVCs
• postextrasystolic potentiation
(Which could increase in intracellular Ca2+ and
myocardial oxygen consumption)

Does VPCs ablation
reverse LV function?
implication of medical therapy
• 7 pts with more than 20,000 VPCs in holter
(EF:40% or less) received additional cardiac
medical therapy, including 4 patients with
amiodarone therapy
• After medical therapeutic intervention , 75%
VPCs or more reduction from baseline in 5 pts
• 6±3m FU, EF increased from (27±10)% to 49
+/- 17% in the 5 pts
suppression of frequent VPCs
may be associated with improvement of left ventricular function
