Overview

The prevalence of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) varies between 100 to 400 per 100,000 individuals worldwide on standard 12-lead electrocardiography and 4000 to 7500 per 100,000 individuals on 24- to 48-hour Holter monitoring. Patients of all age groups may develop PVC and the incidence increases with age. African- American individuals are more likely to develop PVCs. Men are more commonly developed the disease than women.

-Premature ventricular contractions can occur in a healthy person of any age and frequently occur spontaneously with no known cause.
+The [[prevalence]] of premature ventricular contractions ([[Premature ventricular contraction|PVCs]]) varies between 100 to 400 per 100,000 individuals worldwide on [[standard]] [[Electrocardiography|12-lead electrocardiography]] and 4000 to 7500 per 100,000 individuals on  24- to 48-hour [[Holter monitoring]]. [[Patients]] of all age groups may develop [[Premature ventricular contraction|PVC]] and the [[incidence]] increases with age. African- American individuals are more likely to develop [[Premature ventricular contraction|PVCs]]. [[Men]] are more commonly developed the [[disease]] than [[women]].
 ==Epidemiology and Demographics==
-* PVCs are a very common form of arrhythmia, and can occur in both individuals with and without [[heart disease]].
-* Premature ventricular contractions can occur in a healthy person of any age, but are more prevalent in the elderly and in men.<ref name="keany">{{EMedicine|article|761148|Premature ventricular contraction}}</ref>
-* They can also occur in otherwise healthy athletes (e.g. in the days following a major effort such as a marathon).
-* Estimates of the prevalence of PVCs vary greatly.
-* In children, PVCs occur less frequently than in adults, although healthy children are known to have episodes of PVC.  In fact, on routine monitoring of children aged 10-13 years with a [[Holter monitor]], about 20% of healthy boys had occurrences of PVC.  In otherwise healthy newborns, PVCs will often resolve on their own by the 12th week of life, and almost never require treatment.

-==Epidemiology and Demographics==
-===Incidence===
-*The incidence/prevalence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
-*In [year], the incidence/prevalence of [disease name] was estimated to be [number range] cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
 ===Prevalence===
-*The incidence/prevalence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
+*The [[prevalence]] of [[Premature ventricular contraction|PVCs]] varies between 100 to 400 per 100,000 individuals worldwide on [[standard]] [[Electrocardiography|12-lead electrocardiography]] and 4000 to 7500 per 100,000 individuals on  24- to 48-hour [[Holter monitoring]].
-*In [year], the incidence/prevalence of [disease name] was estimated to be [number range] cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
-*The prevalence of [disease/malignancy] is estimated to be [number] cases annually.
-===Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate===
-*In [year], the incidence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals with a case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [number range]%.
-*The case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [disease name] is approximately [number range].
 ===Age===
-*Patients of all age groups may develop [disease name].
+*[[Patients]] of all age groups may develop [[Premature ventricular contraction|PVC]].
-*The incidence of [disease name] increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is [#] years.
+*The [[incidence]] of [[Premature ventricular contraction|PVCs]] increases with age.
-*[Disease name] commonly affects individuals younger than/older than [number of years] years of age.
-*[Chronic disease name] is usually first diagnosed among [age group].

 ===Race===
-*There is no racial predilection to [disease name].
+*African- American individuals are more likely to develop [[Premature ventricular contraction|PVCs]].
-*[Disease name] usually affects individuals of the [race 1] race. [Race 2] individuals are less likely to develop [disease name].
 ===Gender===
-*[Disease name] affects men and women equally.
-*[Gender 1] are more commonly affected by [disease name] than [gender 2]. The [gender 1] to [gender 2] ratio is approximately [number > 1] to 1.
