Abstract Background The left ventricular epicardium is a common site of origin (SOO) among patients with idiopathic premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) undergoing catheter ablation procedures. Less is known about epicardial PVC ablation among patients with myocardial scarring. The objective of this paper is to report on the presence and impact of cardiac scar among patients with epicardial PVCs undergoing ablation procedures. Methods In a retrospective analysis, patients with epicardial PVCs
