Mortality and morbidity reduction after frequent premature ventricular complexes ablation in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction

Abstract

In patients with LV systolic dysfunction, ablation of frequent PVCs induces a significant improvement in functional, structural, and neurohormonal status, which persists at LTFUP. A sustained reduction in the baseline PVC burden is associated with a lower risk of cardiac mortality, cardiac transplantation, or hospitalization for heart failure during follow-up.
