The trial is looking for adults referred for care of extra heartbeats (PVCs), with or without symptoms, who have a Medtronic LINQ II ILR heart monitor under the skin. Their heart rhythm is followed for 12 months.
- Age
- Over 18 years
- Sex
- All sexes
- Disease stage
- Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), with or without symptoms

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
This prospective, observational study is a single center clinical registry of patients referred for management of symptomatic or asymptomatic Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs). Subjects will be followed through 12 months. The study will enroll approximately 50 patients.
The group in the trial
- Patients with PVCs
Patients referred for management of symptomatic or asymptomatic PVCs. Patients presenting with PVCs and ventricular arrhythmias will be monitored using ILRs from the time of their initial presentation of PVCs.
Treatment: Monitoring of patients presenting with PVCs
