Subclinical myocardial changes in idiopathic premature ventricular contractions: insights from cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
In this exploratory study, multiparametric CMRI frequently revealed subclinical myocardial changes in patients with idiopathic PVCs despite normal ECG and echocardiography. Given the small sample size and the heterogeneous, ECG-based estimation of PVC origin, these findings should be considered hypothesis-generating, and larger studies are warranted.
