Popis: Background Premature ventricular contractions (VPC) have hour-to-hour and day-to-day variation. High VPC burden correlates with cardiomyopathy. Objective To determine the optimal duration for ambulatory electrocardiogram monitoring for accurate assessment of VPC burden. Methods Our group performed a retrospective analysis on patch monitors used for any indication with overall VPC burden ≥5.0% between February 1, 2016, and February 1, 2020. We generated cumulative daily VPC averages for each day of wear and performed linear regression analysis between each cumulative daily average and overall burden. Patients were divided into groups based on low or high VPC frequency, and the analysis was repeated. Split-sample validation was used to internally validate the overall prediction model. Results A total of 116 patches representing 107 patients (mean age: 64.5; female: 48%) were analyzed. Mean overall VPC burden was 13.4% ± 7.5% (range: 5.0%–42.0%). Day 1 R2 was 60%, P Conclusion Mobile telemetry for a period of ∼7 days accurately reflects overall VPC burden. Measurement of VPC burden for only 24–48 hours may not accurately reflect total burden. Monitoring for 2 weeks or longer adds little additional VPC information.
