INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: We aimed to assess the effects of successful ablation on impaired left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) in patients with frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). We also evaluated the potential risk factors of impaired LV-GLS.
METHODS: Thirty-six consecutive patients without any structural heart disease, who were treated with radiofrequency (RF) ablation due to frequent PVCs, were included in the study. All patients were evaluated with standard transthoracic and two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography.
RESULTS: Mean LV-GLS before ablation was 17.3±3.7 and 20.5±2.6 after ablation; the difference was statistically significant (p<0.01). Patients were categorized into two groups: those with LV-GLS value >-16% and those ≤16%. Low PVC E flow/post-PVC E flow and PVC SV/post-PVC SV ratios were associated with impaired LV-GLS.
CONCLUSION: In symptomatic patients with frequent PVCs and normal left ventricular ejection fraction, we observed significant improvement in LV-GLS value following successful RF ablation. Patients with impaired LV-GLS more often display non-ejecting PVCs and post-extrasystolic potentiation (PEP) compared to patients with normal LV-GLS.
