Premature Ventricular Contraction-induced Cardiomyopathy

Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are very common cardiac arrhythmias, detected on up to 75  % of Holter monitors of ambulatory patients.1 Although PVCs in the setting of advanced structural heart disease have independent negative prognostic implications,2 the majority of PVCs are quite benign, associated with neither symptoms nor signals of future harm. For an important minority, PVCs represent an important medical condition that requires treatment.
