Introduction Frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) can cause cardiomyopathy (CM). Postextrasystolic potentiation (PESP) and irregularity have been in implicated as triggers of PVC-CM. Because both phenomena can also be found in premature atrial contractions (PACs), it is speculated that frequent PACs have similar consequences. Methods and results A single-center, retrospective study included all consecutive patients undergoing a 14-day Holter monitors (November 2014 to October 2016). Patients were divided into four groups by ectopy burden group 1 (
