Atrial bigeminy results in decreased left ventricular function: an insight into the mechanism of PVC- induced cardiomyopathy. Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 2012;35:1232-1235.Pacchia CF, Akoum NW, Wasmund S, Hamdan MH. Atrial bigeminy results in de‐ creased left ventricular function: an insight ...
Not all premature atrial or ventricular premature depolarizations produce an effective mechanical response of the ventricles oratria, respectively. Therefore, we favor using the word “complex,” not “contraction,” as the “C” in PAC orPVC. ...
