The overall goal of this project is to evaluate the clinical potential of fast quantitative myocardial tissue characterization using recently emerged Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR) techniques to aid the diagnosis, treatment, and follow up of patients with myocardial diseases, such as ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathies, and myocarditis.

Brief Summary:
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.
Detailed Description:
Hypothesized that occult inflammation is clinically under-recognized in patients with symptomatic PVCs with and without Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and can be a potential link between the 2 conditions. Aimed to evaluate the incidence of underlying inflammation using the Positron emission tomography (PET) scan in patients presenting with symptomatic PVCs enrolled retrospectively in the MAVERIC registry.
