Differences in cardiovascular mortality between patients without PVCs (black) and those with PVCs (gray) are shown. Within each heart rate group, there is a significant increase in mortality when PVCs are present (P < 0.001). Mortality also increases as heart rate increases in both patients with and without PVCs (P < 0.001). PVC = premature ventricular contraction.
