  • 摘要:Premature ventricular contraction (PVC), a common arrhythmia affecting 1–2% of the general population, has been considered to have a benign clinical course. However, people with PVC often develop heart failure and ventricular arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia. We aimed to clarify the risk of heart failure and lethal ventricular arrhythmias in people with PVC. The Korean National Health Insurance Service database was used for this study. People who underwent nationwide health check-ups in 2009 were enrolled in this study and clinical follow-up data until December 2018 were analyzed. Newly diagnosed PVC in 2009 (≥ 1 inpatient or outpatient claim) were identified and cumulative incidence of heart failure (≥ 1 inpatient claim) and ventricular arrhythmias (≥ 1 inpatient or outpatient claim) were compared. A total of 4515 people were first diagnosed with PVC in 2009 among 9,743,582 people without prior history of PVC, heart failure, or ventricular arrhythmias. People with newly diagnosed PVC in 2009 had a significantly higher incidence of heart failure compared to those without PVC [adjusted hazard ratio (HR)  1.371; 95% confidence interval (CI)  1.177–1.598; p  < 0.001
