In this meta-analysis, the most consistent risk factors for PVC-CM were age, non-sustained VT, LV, epicardial origin, interpolation, and PVC burden, whereas the presence of symptoms significantly reduced the risk. These findings help tailor stringent follow-up of patients presenting with frequent PVCs and normal LV function.
