Important tips reflcted in our daily practice from the American College of Cardiology Electrophysiology Council report on premature ventricular contractions

Özet

Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) is one of the most common situations in the current cardiology practice. Although PVCs are generallybenign in people without any structural heart disease, they may be associated with left ventricular dysfunction, cardiomyopathy, and, rarely,sudden death. Recently, there has been a considerable research in the pathophysiology of PVC, several clinical presentations in different situations, new proposals of successful diagnostic methods, and treatment modalities. Finally, the American College of Cardiology ElectrophysiologyCouncil has published a special report that deals with all the aspects of PVC. We reviewed the important points from this report that can bereflected in our daily practice. (Anatol J Cardiol 2020; 23: 196-203)
