Brief Summary:
This prospective, observational study is a single center clinical registry of patients referred for management of symptomatic or asymptomatic Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs). Subjects will be followed through 12 months. The study will enroll approximately 50 patients.
Detailed Description:
This study is intended to monitor patients presenting with Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs) and ventricular arrhythmias using implantable loop recorders (ILRs) from the time of their initial presentation of PVCs to assess for the incidence of all cardiac arrhythmias detected with long term monitoring in this population. It is also intended to evaluate for clinical, biomarker and radiological evidence of myocarditis in this cohort to understand association with incident arrhythmias and understand the role of implantable loop recorders (ILRs)in managing these patients.
