Abstract
Background: Evaluation of left ventricular(LV) functions in patients with idiopathic premature ventricular contraction(PVC) with preserved LV Ejection Fraction(LVEF), especially in the subclinical stage, may be of great importance in terms of directing early treatment. Methods: A total of 122 patients, retrospectively recruited, were divided into three groups according to PVC burden: Group 1; 5%PVC<10%, Group 2; 10%PVC<15%, and Group 3; 15% PVC. Transthoracic echocardiography(TTE) was performed to evaluate LV parameters. Results: LV-GLS was found to be significantly lower in groups 2 and 3 with high PVC burden (18.89 ± 1.4, 17.55 ± 2.1, 16.26 ± 1.3; p<0.001 respectively). Correlation analysis revealed a positive and significant correlation between PVC burden with deterioration in LV-GLS (r:0.536; p<0.001). In addition, PVC burden was found to be an independent predictor of LV-GLS deterioration in multiple linear regression analysis(:0.525, p<0.001). The ROC curve analysis demonstrated that a PVC burden cut-off value of 8.4% was associated with a LV-GLS deterioration greater than -18, with a specificity of 75.4% and a sensitivity of 75.4% (AUC: 0.81 [0.73-0.88] 95% CI; p<0.001). Conclusions: PVC burden was an independent predictor of deterioration in LV-GLS. In the presence of subclinical LV injury associated with PVC burden, early catheter ablation strategies may be therapeutically beneficial.
