Enhanced automaticity process is the underlying mechanism for arrhythmias due to excess catecholamines. Catecholamines may increase in patients with PVC. Metabolites of catecholamines are metanephrine and normetanephrine. Our aim is to measure 24 hours urine levels of metanephrine and normetanephrine.
Premature ventricular complex is a very frequent arrhythmia. Suggested mechanisms for PVCs are reentry, triggered activity, and enhanced automaticity. Enhanced automaticity process is the underlying mechanism for arrhythmias due to excess catecholamines. Catecholamines may increase in patients with PVC. Half-lives of catecholamines are very short and rather changeable. Therefore, 24 hours urine levels of catecholamines are the more sensitive than plasma levels. Metabolites of catecholamines are metanephrine and normetanephrine. Our aim is to measure 24 hours urine levels of metanephrine and normetanephrine.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

Time frame: about 10 months
Ran from Feb 2018 to primary completion in Sep 2019, 19 months.
Of 23 observational studies under Ventricular Premature Complexes, half reached primary completion within 51 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 28. This study's 19 months is below that.
