13. Association between ventricular premature contraction burden and ventricular repolarization duration
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Premature ventricular contraction is generally known as benign in the absence of structural heart disease; however, premature ventricular contraction-induced left ventricular systolic dysfunction or ventricular arrhythmias are defined in some cases. Ventricular repolarization duration differs between myocardial cells, which causes myocard
