Presentation, Evaluation, and Management of Premature Ventricular Contractions

 

Guest: Alan M. Sugrue, M.B., B.Ch., B.A.O.

Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D.

 

In this episode, Dr. Anthony Kashou and Dr. Alan Sugrue cover a practical, evidence-based approach to premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), from incidental findings to high-burden, high-risk presentations. Listeners will gain tools to differentiate benign from pathologic PVCs, understand when to monitor versus refer, and recognize the role of catheter ablation in improving outcomes.

 

Topics Discussed:

  • PVCs show up on Holters and ECGs all the time — how do you decide when they matter?
  • How often do PVCs cause cardiomyopathy, and when should we act?
  • When should we consider ablation even if the patient is asymptomatic?
  • What’s the biggest misconception about PVC ablation today?
