Idiopathic Ventricular Premature Contraction (VPC) is currently more routinely referred for electrophysiology evaluation. Usually it carries a good prognosis but, when symptomatic or suspected to produce ventricular dysfunction, will require treatment. Nowadays, RF ablation has great advantages over antiarrhythmic drugs. Classically the outflow tract (right or left), with the typical inferior axis with left (eventually right) bundle brunch block like ECG morphology, is considered the most frequent site of origin for idiopathic VPC, but with the widespread of EP procedures and advancement of technology making possible to map and ablate difficult locations, it is possible to see a growing and changing population referred for idiopathic VPC ablation, displaying that, almost any region of the heart may be source of this kind of arrhythmia that can be successfully treated. A well-planned procedure, with the presumed region of origin settled and employing the current technology and knowledge (tips), will have a high chance of cure.

The search for biomarkers that can help to establish an early diagnosis and prognosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD) is of potential interest. polymorphisms have been implicated in the development of several lung disorders. Consequently, we assessed, for the first time, the role of polymorphisms in the susceptibility and severity of ILD.

Department of Cardiology, The First People's Hospital of Zhaoqing City, Zhaoqing City, China.
Background: To evaluate the role of Tp-e and (Tp-e)/QT ratio in differentiating benign ventricular premature complex (VPC) and malignant polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PVT).
Methods: From January 2017 to December 2017, patients with documented polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PVT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) were consecutive included and classified as PVT/VF group. Sixty age- and sex-matched healthy individuals were recruited as comparative control and subdivided into non-VPC and VPC group.
Risk Factors for Left Ventricle Enlargement in Children With Frequent Ventricular Premature Complexes.
Am J Cardiol
September 2020
Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Xin Hua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China. Electronic address:
We aimed to assess the risk factors for left ventricle (LV) enlargement in children with idiopathic frequent ventricular premature complexes (VPC) and discuss the clinical features and treatment strategies. Children diagnosed with idiopathic frequent VPC at Xinhua Hospital affiliated to the Shanghai Jiao Tong University during 2013 to 2019 were retrospectively evaluated. Gender, age, body mass index, weight, number and sources of frequent VPC, and changes in the LV structure were analyzed and compared.
