Systemic inflammation has emerged as a potential contributor to ventricular ectopy. The Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) is an easily obtainable biomarker reflecting inflammatory status. This study aimed to investigate the association between SII and both the presence and burden of PVCs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective study included 418 consecutive adult patients who underwent 24-hour Holter monitoring and complete blood count analysis. Patients were categorized according to PVC presence and further stratified by PVC burden. SII values were compared between groups and across PVC burden categories. Correlation analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the relationship between SII and PVC burden.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Patients with PVCs had significantly higher SII values than controls (506.69 [354.20\u2013674.28] vs. 463.12 [349.58\u2013573.74],\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.012). SII increased progressively across PVC burden categories (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.007). Spearman analysis demonstrated a weak but significant positive correlation between SII and PVC burden (rho\u2009=\u20090.150,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.029). In multivariable analysis, SII remained independently associated with both PVC presence and high PVC burden. ROC analysis demonstrated a moderate discriminatory performance of SII for identifying high PVC burden (AUC\u2009=\u20090.696, 95% CI: 0.597\u20130.795,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001), with an optimal cut-off value of 505.6. Among the evaluated inflammatory biomarkers, SII showed the largest AUC for identifying high PVC burden, followed by NLR and PLR.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Higher SII levels were associated with both the presence and increasing burden of PVCs. These findings support a potential relationship between systemic inflammatory status and ventricular ectopy and suggest that SII may provide complementary information when interpreted together with clinical evaluation and rhythm monitoring, rather than as a standalone marker.<\/jats:p>\n
