About this trial

To assess potential link between unrecognized myocardial inflammation (myocarditis) and premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) associated with and without reduced Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) through comprehensive diagnostic work up.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients > 18 years of age with mono-morphic or polymorphic PVC burden of ≥5000 in 24 hours.

Non-sustained VT was defined as ≥3 more consecutive beats lasting <30 seconds

Disqualifiers

History of myocardial infarction,

Significant flow-limiting coronary artery disease (≥50% stenosis) on invasive coronary angiography or CT angiography,

History of revascularization,

Significant symptomatic atrial arrhythmias associated with LV dysfunction,

Trial population

Males and females with PVC and ventricular tachycardia (VT) will be enrolled if they meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Identify the underlying myocarditis in patients presenting with PVCs with or without reduced LVEF

To identify the underlying myocarditis in patients presenting with PVCs with or without reduced LVEF through laboratory testing, FDG-PET(18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose fluorodeoxyglucose - positron emission tomography) scan, Cardiac Magnetic Resonance imaging and/or Endomyocardial biopsy.

Time frame
Retrospective Collection between dates January 2014-January 2023

Secondary outcomes

1

Ascertain whether immunosuppressive therapy (IST) affords short term and long term improvement of LVEF and clinical outcomes

To ascertain whether immunosuppressive therapy (IST) affords short term and long term improvement of LVEF and clinical outcomes in virus negative and FDG-PET positive patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, myocardial inflammation and PVCs.

Time frame
Retrospective Collection between dates January 2014-January 2023

Other outcomes

1

Evaluate whether IST + catheter ablation results in optimal clinical response

To evaluate whether IST + catheter ablation results in optimal clinical response in virus negative and FDG-PET positive patients with PVCs with or without reduced LVEF

Time frame
Retrospective Collection between dates January 2014-January 2023
