Premature Ventricular Complexes: Benign versus Malignant – How to approach?
Premature Ventricular Complexes (PVCs) refer to electrical activity arising from ventricles resulting in ventricular contraction independent of the native rhythm. PVCs by themselves are common in the general population but based on the origin of the PVCs, either related to anatomical or electrical s...

description | Premature Ventricular Complexes (PVCs) refer to electrical activity arising from ventricles resulting in ventricular contraction independent of the native rhythm. PVCs by themselves are common in the general population but based on the origin of the PVCs, either related to anatomical or electrical substrate, the disease process has a widely varied presentation and prognosis. The clinical presentation of symptoms may vary from being extremely benign, or very severe (malignant). Benign PVCs include those that are asymptomatic or induce very mild symptoms including palpitations, lightheadedness, chest discomfort, or the sensation of skipped beats. The middle range of PVCs present as heart failure or heart failure complicated by PVCs. The malignant variety may present as syncope, or sudden cardiac death. In this review we describe the multiple facets of PVC presentation and strategies of clinical management. |
