TICMP and Ventricular Arrhythmias Yokok awa and colleagues studied 241 p atients with frequent PVCs who were referred for catheter ablation. 180 patients (75%) experienced symptoms. Left ventricular dysfunction was present in 76 (32 %) patients. Symptom dur ation, the abs enc e of symptoms, and the PVC burden were independent predictors of impaired LV function. Heart Rhythm Jan;9(1):92-5. In the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, association of frequent PVCs with HF incidence in a population based cohort, free of HF and coronary heart disease at baseline, was studied.* Over a follow-up period of 15 years, the incidence of HF in subjects with 1 PVC on a 2 min ECG rhythm strip was significantly higher than in those with no PVCs (HR 1.71, after adjusting for different variables.* * Agarwal SK, Si mp so n Jr RJ, Rautaharju P, et al.
