However, he suddenly developed a series of malignant ventricular arrhythmias. Below are printouts of some of the arrhythmias recorded. This time, the arrhythmia did not spontaneously terminate — but rather degenerated to VFib, requiring defibrillation. The arrhythmia starts with a PVC having a short coupling interval.

Abstract Introduction Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are the most common ventricular arrhythmia that are encountered in the clinical practice. Recent data suggests that high PVC burden may lead to the development of PVC-induced cardiomyopathy (PVC-CM) even in patients without structural heart disease.

Heart Valve Disease If one or more heart valves are not functioning correctly, it can cause blood to flow backward, putting extra pressure on the heart, which may cause it to expand to compensate for the inefficiency. This may result in ischemia (lack of oxygen to the heart muscle), causing parts of the heart to weaken and enlarge.
