A 44-year-old female presented with a long history of chest pain, palpitations and increasing dyspnea. Electrocardiography and 24 h Holter monitoring revealed multiple premature ventricular complexes (PVCs), and echocardiography demonstrated significant left ventricular dilatation and systolic impairment. After further investigation it was concluded that this cardiomyopathy was secondary to the observed multiple PVCs and that these represented a potential target for treatment.

一名44岁女性,有长期胸痛、心悸及进行性加重的呼吸困难病史。心电图及24小时动态心电图监测显示多个室性早搏(PVC),超声心动图显示左心室明显扩张及收缩功能受损。进一步检查后得出结论,该心肌病继发于观察到的多个室性早搏,且这些室性早搏是潜在的治疗靶点。
