Frequent idiopathic premature ventricular complexes (PVC) are associated with a reversible form of cardiomyopathy. The effect of frequent PVCs on left ventricular function has not been evaluated in post-infarction patients. To evaluate the value of post-infarction PVC ablation and possible determinants of a reversible cardiomyopathy. Thirty consecutive patients (24 men, age 61±12, LVEF 0.36±0.12) with remote myocardial infarction referred for ICD implantation for primary prevention of sudden death or for management of symptomatic ventricular tachycardia or PVCs were evaluated. Fifteen patients with a high PVC burden (≥5% of all QRS complexes on 24-hour Holter) underwent mapping and ablation of PVCs before ICD implantation. The remaining 15 patients served as a control group. LVEF was assessed by echocardiography, and scar burden was assessed by cardiac MRI with delayed enhancement (DE-MRI) in both groups. PVC ablation was successful in 15/15 patients and reduced the mean PVC burden from 22±12% to 2.6±5.0% (p<0.001). Following the procedure, LVEF increased significantly from 0.38±0.10 to 0.51±0.09 in the PVC ablation group (p=0.0001). In the control group, LVEF remained unchanged within the same time frame (0.34±0.14 vs. 0.33±0.15; p=0.6). Patients with frequent PVCs had a significantly smaller scar burden by DE-MRI compared to control patients. Five of the patients with frequent PVCs underwent ICD implantation. Post-infarction patients with frequent PVCs may have a reversible form of cardiomyopathy. DE-MRI may identify patients in whom the LVEF may improve after ablation of frequent PVCs.
