ventricular ectopy

ventricular ectopy

A recent term for ventricular ectopic (premature) beats, also known as EXTRASYSTOLES. There are indications that ventricular ectopy during exercise may be due to perfusion defects in the heart muscle, and that frequent ectopic beats after exercise may be more significant indications of risk than when they occur during exercise.

In patients with clinically manifest coronary artery disease, clinical parameters such as reduced ventricular function, history of heart failure, frequent ventricular ectopy, inducible ventricular tachycardia on electrophysiologic studies, and abnormal autonomic function tests such as heart rate variability and abnormal microvolt T wave alternans are markers for an increased probability of sudden death (3).
