Abstract

Background: Premature ventricular complex is a common arrhythmia, causing many symptoms, affecting the quality of life, even the onset of serious arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia, and ventricular fibrillation. The incidence of premature ventricular complexes is higher in patients with hypertension. Objectives: To study the characteristics and effects of bisoprolol in patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out of 76 patients with premature ventricular complexes, hypertension, and left ventricular hypertrophy at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital from 4/2019-6/2021. Results: In 76 patients (female accounts for 72.4%), the most common symptom is palpitations (59.2%); 25% of patients had complicated premature ventricular complexes (Lown III-V); Bisoprolol has effectively reduced count of premature ventricular complexes, heart rate, and symptoms after 4 weeks. Conclusions: Low-dose bisoprolol is effective in reducing the number of PVCs in hypertensive patients with LVH.
