[46] reported that the higher levels of NT-proBNP levels are independently associated with the incidence of frequent
ventricular ectopy and complex
ventricular ectopy in a moderately large, community-based population.
Ventricular ectopy in patients with left ventricular dysfunction: Should it be treated?
This association is also seen with certain cardiovascular irregularities as well as diabetes: "Subclinical magnesium and potassium deficiencies are strongly associated with increased
ventricular ectopy and arrhythmias."
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) of
ventricular ectopy has been postulated as a therapeutic approach in Brugada syndrome patients.
Citing the most recent guidelines, symptomatic bradycardia with congenital AVB has been accepted as a Class I indication for pacemaker implantation in cases such as wide QRS escape and complex
ventricular ectopy (9).
The patient was not noted to have frequent
ventricular ectopy or nonsustained runs of ventricular tachycardia on telemetry.
Reported ECG changes in the setting of GV include 1st-degree atrioventricular block,
ventricular ectopy, atrial fibrillation, and inferior ST elevation [4].
Frequent
ventricular ectopy during exercise predicted a 1.8 increased risk of death and a 2.4 risk of death during the recovery phase [48].
Ventricular ectopy was 5374, with 390 V-Runs and 680 V-Pairs, Ventricular Bigeminy events were 31 and ventricular Trigeminy events were 6.
Has wide QRS-escape-rhythm, complex
ventricular ectopy, or ventricular dysfunction.
This is also helpful as the physical irritation of ventricular myocardium by the ablation catheter, with resultant troublesome
ventricular ectopy, is avoided.
Bethell et al (15) studied electrocardiographic findings of patients with severe diphtheria and found the degree of
ventricular ectopy at the time of presentation significantly associated with fatal outcome.
