Echocardiographic assessment of pulmonary capillary wedge pressure in patients with frequent premature ventricular complexes.

Premature ventricular complex (PVC) is seen in most individuals. It has been shown that the kinetics‐tracking index or Kawasaki‐Tanaka index (KT index) strongly predicts pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) by noninvasively. KT index was defined as log10 (active LAEF/minimum LAV index). We goaled to assess PCWP non‐invasively in patients with frequent PVCs with normal left ventricular systolic functions and to evaluate whether there is an increase in PCWP before systolic and diastolic functions are impaired.
