Higher volume and lower density of EAT were significantly associated with frequent PVCs. The RVOT-PVC patients had a higher volume ratio and a smaller density differential. The LVOT-PVCs had a lower volume ratio and the LV-PVCs showed a greater density differential. These suggest a link between EAT structural properties and PVCs and a potential role for regional EAT in the development of PVCs.
