Abstract: Objective To study the relationships between left ventricular myocardial mass index (LVMI) and PVC-burden and serum uric acid (UA) in patients with premature ventricular contractions(PVCs). Methods Totally 149 patients with PVCs were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were divided into 2 groups with LVMI:the PVCs group (n=66) and the PVCs with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) group (n=83). The PVC-burden and UA level were compared and the Logistic regression analyses were used to identify the risk factors of LVH. Results Compared with the PVCs group, the PVC-burden and UA were increased in the PVCs with LVH group(P<0.05, respectively). In a binary Logistic regression analysis, age, PVC-burden and UA were the risk factors of LVH in patients with PVCs. Conclusion The LVMI was closely related to PVC-burden and UA. With the increase of PVCs burden, the patients with PVCs were prone to suffer LVH. For patients with a heavy load of PVC-burden and high level of UA, the cardiac function should be monitored on early stage and the clinical intervention should be provided in time.
