This observational study is looking at the role of implantable loop recorders (ILRs) in managing Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs), which are extra heartbeats that start in the lower chambers of your heart. It also aims to understand if there's a link between PVCs and myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle). You might be able to join if you are over 18, have a Medtronic LINQ II ILR, and are willing to give your consent. The study will monitor your heart rhythms and look for signs of myocarditis. Success for this study means identifying unrecognized myocarditis, and seeing if certain treatments can reduce PVCs or improve heart function. The current recruitment status is unclear, but the study plans to enroll about 50 patients.

Study design

This is an observational study, meaning researchers will monitor participants without giving them a specific treatment. It will involve about 50 participants.

What's involved

Patients will be monitored using ILRs from the time they first experience PVCs and will be followed for 12 months. They will also be evaluated for clinical, biomarker, and radiological evidence of myocarditis.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants will be followed for 12 months to assess the study's primary goals.
