Background A young adult female presented with syncope and periodic weakness. A 12-lead electrocardiogram showed frequent premature ventricular contractions and prolonged QU interval. Repetitive runs ...

Aug. 22, 2002 — Athletes with multiple and even complex ventricular ectopic beats without structural abnormalities are at low risk for sudden cardiac death and need not forgo competition, according to ...

Cleveland, OH - A new study shows that frequent ventricular ectopy during recovery after exercise is a better predictor of an increased risk of death than ventricular ectopy during exercise. This is ...

To the Editor: Frolkis et al. (Feb. 27 issue) 1 found an association between frequent ventricular ectopy during recovery and decreased survival. However, we believe that two issues need to be ...

Although premature ventricular beats (PVBs) in young people and athletes are usually benign, they may rarely mark underlying heart disease and risk of sudden cardiac death during sport. This review ...

Background A 44-year-old female presented with a long history of chest pain, palpitations and increasing dyspnea. Electrocardiography and 24 h Holter monitoring revealed multiple premature ventricular ...

Is there a simple way to differentiate a supraventricular tachycardia from a ventricular, wide QRS tachycardia on a rhythm strip? The simplest initial approach is to look at the lead with the most ...

New research finds that low fitness levels and older age are strong and independent risk factors for heartbeat irregularities, or arrhythmias*, in healthy adults. These arrhythmias were previously ...

Older age was also an independent risk factor for ventricular ectopic burden; lower eGFR linked to high AEB, VEB. (HealthDay News) — Age is a significant independent risk factor for atrial ectopic ...

In the last few weeks, the Skeptical Cardiologist has had a run on with patients with premature atrial contractions (PACs). I've discussed in detail premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) here and ...
