Premature ventricular contraction increases the risk of heart failure and ventricular tachyarrhythmia

Abstract Premature ventricular contraction (PVC), a common arrhythmia affecting 1–2% of the general population, has been considered to have a benign clinical course. However, people with PVC often develop heart failure and ventricular arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia. We aimed to clarify...
