Figure 5 Relationship of Heart Rate to Frequency of Ectopy From 3 Representative Patients
Data from Holter recordings obtained from (A) a patient who presented with frequent repetitive PVCs showing concordance between increased PVCs (triangles) to higher relative heart rate (squares); (B) a patient who presented with frequent repetitive PVCs showing an inverse relationship between frequency of PVCs (triangles) and heart rate (squares); and (C) a patient who presented with repetitive monomorphic VT showing concordance between increased frequency of PVCs (triangles), runs of VT (circles), and higher heart rate (squares). Number of PVCs and VT runs expressed on log scale (for C only). Note that at hours 1 AM through 3 AM and at 5 AM there were no VT runs. Abbreviations as in Figure 1.
