The safety of catheter ablation for premature ventricular contractions in patients without structural heart disease

Background Patients with frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are often symptomatic. Catheter ablation was usually indicated to eliminate symptoms in patients with PVCs-induced cardiomyopathy. Currently, PVCs-ablation is also applied for patients with PVCs and no structural heart diseases (SHD); however, the safety and efficacy of ablation in these patients remains unclear.
