Asymptomatic children with normal ventricular function and a low ectopy burden can be followed without any intervention and generally reassured. Children with an ectopy burden more than 30% are at some risk of developing LV dysfunction and should be more closely followed with noninvasive imaging.
20 Οκτ 2022 · With frequent ectopy (generally defined as 10% of beats or more in a 24-hour period), there is a risk of developing ventricular dysfunction even in a normal heart. The exact PVC burden at which ventricular dysfunction may occur is unclear, but in most studies, 20% to 30% ectopy is needed to increase the risk of ventricular dysfunction.
28 Σεπ 2018 · Ectopic heartbeats are common in adults. They are less common in children and typically occur due to an underlying heart condition. When a child experiences an ectopic heartbeat, it is often a...
3 Οκτ 2018 · Some patients with idiopathic PVCs may develop an ectopy-mediated cardiomyopathy (EMC) or rarely PVC-induced polymorphic VT or ventricular fibrillation (VF). This review will focus on the clinical and pathophysiological characteristics of idiopathic VAs and the implications and options for therapy.
4 Αυγ 2024 · "Ectopic" means something that is in an odd place or position. In the case of an ectopic beat, that oddly placed something is your heartbeat. You may hear people call this...
