The Treatment of PVCs and Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death: New findings from the CAST study.

S Nattel.   

Abstract

Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) have traditionally been suppressed using antiarrhythmic drugs. Recent studies have failed to show that reducing the number of PVCs can prevent sudden death; moreover, treatment with some antiarrhythmic agents can increase the risk. There is a close link between the severity of ischemic heart disease and sudden death.
