MeSH Heading: Ventricular Premature Complexes
Tree Number(s): C14.280.067.325.500; C14.280.123.375.500; C23.550.073.325.800
Unique ID: D018879
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018879
Scope Note: A type of cardiac arrhythmia with premature contractions of the HEART VENTRICLES. It is characterized by the premature QRS complex on ECG that is of abnormal shape and great duration (generally >129 msec). It is the most common form of all cardiac arrhythmias. Premature ventricular complexes have no clinical significance except in concurrence with heart diseases.
Entry Term(s): Extrasystole, Ventricular; Premature Ventricular Beats; Premature Ventricular Complex; Premature Ventricular Contractions; Ventricular Ectopic Beats; Ventricular Premature Complex
