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.

Brief Summary:
A retrospective, observational study consisting of patients who presents with typical/atypical chest pain and have an ensuing negative ischemic evaluation
Detailed Description:
Multicenter, retrospective, observational study consisting of patients who presents with typical/atypical chest pain to the emergency department and have an ensuing negative ischemic evaluation. Planned to review the subsequent diagnostic process in these patients, including patients with CMRI (Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging), PET (Positron Emission Tomography) imaging for evaluation of myocarditis with the goal of quantifying the number of patients who go on to have a proven diagnosis of myocarditis that can explain their presenting symptoms.

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.
