Premature Ventricular Contraction Location and Incident Heart Failure.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The anatomical distribution of spontaneous ventricular ectopy and the risk of heart failure associated with premature ventricular contraction (PVC) location has not been studied outside the narrow group of individuals presenting for arrhythmia-related clinical care.

Objectives

This study sought to describe the epidemiology of PVC site of origin and to determine whether PVC anatomical location is independently associated with incident heart failure risk.

Methods

Ambulatory adults without prevalent heart failure were identified from the CHS (Cardiovascular Health Study) and the ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study) cohorts. Anatomical PVC location was assessed by 2 expert reviewers using baseline 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) morphology.
