The Lead Episode 66: A Discussion of Class 1C Antiarrhythmics for Premature Ventricular Complex Suppression in Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy With Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators

Discussion Topic: Class 1C Antiarrhythmics for Premature Ventricular Complex Suppression in Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy With Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators

William H. Sauer, MD, FHRS, CCDS, Brigham and Women’s Hospital is joined by Edward P. Gerstenfeld, MD, MS, FHRS, University of California, San Francisco, and Yasser Rodriguez, MBA, MD, Cleveland Clinic Florida to discuss premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are common and associated with worse outcomes in patients with heart failure. Class 1C antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) effectively suppress PVCs, but guidelines currently restrict their use in structural heart disease.
