AbstractBackgroundAdults with high premature ventricular contraction burden can develop left ventricular dilation, dysfunction, and strain, consistent with a cardiomyopathy, which is reversible with radiofrequency ablation of the premature ventricular contractions. Evidence in children with similar ectopy burden is limited. We performed a single-centre retrospective review to examine the prevalence of premature ventricular contraction-induced cardiomyopathy, natural history of ventricular ectopy, and progression to ventricular tachycardia in children with frequent premature ventricular contractions.MethodsChildren aged between 6 months and 18 years, with premature ventricular contractions comprising at least 20% of rhythm on 24-hour Holter monitor, were included in our study. Those with significant structural heart disease, ventricular tachycardia greater than 1% of rhythm at the time of premature ventricular contraction diagnosis, or family history of cardiomyopathy – except tachycardia-induced – were excluded. Cardiomyopathy was defined by echocardiographic assessment.ResultsA total of 36 children met the study criteria; seven patients (19.4%, 95% CI 6.2–32.6%) met the criteria for cardiomyopathy, mostly at initial presentation. Ectopy decreased to <10% of beats without intervention in 16.7% (95% CI 4.3–29.1%) of the patients. No patient progressed to having ventricular tachycardia as more than 1% of beats on follow-up Holter. Radiofrequency ablation was performed in three patients without cardiomyopathy.ConclusionsOur study demonstrates a higher prevalence of cardiomyopathy among children with high premature ventricular contraction burden than that previously shown. Ectopy tended to persist throughout follow-up. These trends suggest the need for a multi-centre study on frequent premature ventricular contractions in children. In the interim, regular follow-up with imaging to evaluate for cardiomyopathy is warranted.

BACKGROUND: Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is among the most frequently occurring types of arrhythmias. Existing approaches for automated PVC identification suffer from a range of disadvantages related to hand-crafted features and benchmarking on datasets with a tiny sample of PVC beats. OBJECTIVE: The main objective is to address the drawbacks described above in the proposed framework, which takes a raw ECG signal as an input and localizes R peaks of the PVC beats. METHODS: Our method consists of two neural networks. First, an encoder-decoder architecture trained on PVC-rich dataset localizes the R peak of both Normal and anomalous heartbeats. Provided R peaks positions, our CardioIncNet model does the delineation of healthy versus PVC beats. RESULTS: We have performed an extensive evaluation of our pipeline with both single- and cross-dataset paradigms on three public datasets. Our approach results in over 0.99 and 0.979 F1-measure on both single- and cross-dataset paradigms for R peaks localization task and above 0.96 and 0.85 F1 score for the PVC beats classification task. CONCLUSIONS: We have shown a method that provides robust performance beyond the beats of Normal nature and clearly outperforms classical algorithms both in the case of a single and cross-dataset evaluation. We provide a Github1 repository for the reproduction of the results.
