Overview

Isolated premature ventricular contractions with benign characteristics require no treatment. In healthy individuals, PVCs can often be resolved by restoring the balance of magnesium, calcium and potassium within the body.

Medical Therapy

Therapies with limited data to support their use:

In the setting of existing cardiac disease, however, PVCs must be watched carefully, as they may cause a form of ventricular tachycardia (rapid heartbeat).

2017 AHA/ACC/HRS Guideline for Management of Patients with Ventricular Arrhythmias and the Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Recommendation for Pharmacological Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD)

Class I
1. In patients with HFrEF (LVEF ≤40%), treatment with a beta blocker, a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist and either an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, an angiotensin-receptor blocker, or an angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor is recommended to reduce SCD and all-cause mortality (Level of Evidence: A).[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

Recommendations for Autonomic Modulation

Class IIa
1. In patients with symptomatic, non–lifethreatening VA, treatment with a beta blocker is reasonable (Level of Evidence: C-LD).[10]

Recommendations for Patients With Coronary Artery Spasm

Class I
1. In patients with VA due to coronary artery spasm, treatment with maximally tolerated doses of a calcium channel blocker and

smoking cessation are indicated to reduce recurrent ischemia and VA (Level of Evidence: B-NR).[11][12]

Class IIa
1. In patients resuscitated from SCA due to coronary artery spasm in whom medical therapy is ineffective or not tolerated, an ICD is reasonable if meaningful survival of greater than 1 year is expected. (Level of Evidence: B-NR).[13][14][15][16]
Class IIb
1. In patients resuscitated from SCA due to coronary artery spasm, an ICD in addition to medical therapy may be reasonable if

meaningful survival of greater than 1 year is expected. (Level of Evidence: B-NR). [13][14][15][16]
