Abstract [en]

Premature ventricular complex (PVC) is common in the general population. Symptoms vary from none to pronounced. The prognostic significance of PVCs depends on the presence of underlying structural heart disease. The clinical evaluation in patients with PVC aims at excluding structural heart disease and usually involves transthoracic echocardiogram and Holter. Patients without structural heart disease usually have a good prognosis. Frequent PVCs may cause impaired left ventricular function, which usually is reversible after treatment with drugs or ablation. A 12-lead ECG provides important information about PVC localization, however anatomical factors such as the hearts localization in the thorax as well as electrode placement and pharmacological treatment may affect the ECG appearance. In symptomatic patients with or without left ventricular impairment, pharmacological treatment or catheter ablation is indicated. However, in most cases the main goal is to reasure the patient of the good prognosis. To summarize, treatment of choice depends on symptoms, comorbidities, left ventricular function and patients choice.

Abstract [sv]

Ventrikulära extraslag (VES) är vanliga och förekommer hos patienter med eller utan strukturell hjärtsjukdom.

Deras prognostiska betydelse är kopplad till eventuellunderliggande hjärtsjukdom. En basal utredning inbegriper ekokardiografi samt Holter-EKG för kvantifieringav VES-börda och symtomkorrelation. Prognosen är god i frånvaro av strukturell hjärtsjukdom.

Vid förekomst av kardiell påverkan eller symtomföreligger indikation för behandling med läkemedel ellerkateterablation. 12-avlednings-EKG ger bra informationom var i hjärtat extraslagen har sitt ursprung. För dets tora flertalet gäller exspektans med information om eni regel god prognos.
