DOI: 10.1111/jce.14067
Abstract: Frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) can cause cardiomyopathy (CM). Postextrasystolic potentiation (PESP) and irregularity have been in implicated as triggers of PVC‐CM. Because both phenomena can also be found in premature atrial contractions (PACs), it… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jce.15150
Abstract: The relative effectiveness of medical therapy compared with a conservative approach of monitoring in patients with idiopathic frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) is uncertain. We evaluated the effectiveness of medical versus conservative therapy for frequent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/heartjnl-2019-314922
Abstract: Objective The natural history of frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) in association with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is uncertain. The optimal management of this population is thus undefined. We studied the outcomes of… read more here.

DOI: 10.14740/cr935
Abstract: Background The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of premature atrial contractions (PACs) burden, and the presence of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) on prognosis and type of major adverse cardiovascular events in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.869730
Abstract: Background Consumer smartwatches have gained attention as mobile health (mHealth) tools able to detect atrial fibrillation (AF) using photoplethysmography (PPG) or a short strip of electrocardiogram (ECG). PPG has limited accuracy due to the movement… read more here.
