Dependence of premature ventricular complexes on heart rate—it’s not that simple
Linear correlation as a tool to classify patients with frequent PVCs should be used with caution. It is sensitive to the specific 24-hour period analyzed and the methodology used to segment the data. More sophisticated classification approaches that can capture nonlinear and time-varying dependencies should be developed and considered in clinical practice.
