Our objective was to assess in a group of subjects with EIPVC and cardiovascular risk factors the association with underlying significant coronary artery disease (CAD), in comparison with a control group of patients with cardiovascular risk factors and exercise test (ET) showing ischaemia. Methods: All the patients (above 35 years old) referred for ET at our institution were prospectively included. Patients with at least one cardiovascular risk factor and without known CAD were divided into 2 groups: group A if EIPVC were present (either during exercise or during recovery), at least more than 10% over 30 s of recording; group B if ET was showing ischaemia. The presence of CAD was then confirmed in both groups by coronary arteriography, and\/or thallium scintigraphy, and\/or cardiac MRI and\/or coronary CT angiography performed within 2 months after ET realization. Results: From November 2020 to December 2022, 4098 ETs were performed. After exclusion (normal ETs = 2194; known CAD = 1109; age &lt; 35 years old = 487; congenital heart disease = 59; mitral valve prolapse = 4), 46 patients with EIPVC were finally identified (male 65%, mean age 61.5 \u00b1 11 years), and 71 in group B. CAD was confirmed using additional tests in 5\/46 (11%) patients in group A versus 38\/71 (54%) in group B (p &lt; 0.0001). Conclusions: Amongst patients without known CAD, the presence of EIPVC was less frequently associated with an underlying CAD, compared to the presence of exercise-induced \u201celectrical\u201d ischaemia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13226735","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,12]],"date-time":"2024-11-12T03:53:14Z","timestamp":1731383594000},"page":"6735","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Are Exercise-Induced Premature Ventricular Contractions Associated with Significant Coronary Artery Disease?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3016-9192","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sok-Sithikun","family":"Bun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Pasteur University Hospital, 06000 Nice, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Clementine","family":"Massimelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Pasteur University Hospital, 06000 Nice, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Didier","family":"Scarlatti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Pasteur University Hospital, 06000 Nice, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3110-1915","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fabien","family":"Squara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Pasteur University Hospital, 06000 Nice, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emile","family":"Ferrari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Pasteur University Hospital, 06000 Nice, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"101","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2015.04.062","article-title":"Ventricular Ectopy as a Predictor of Heart Failure and Death","volume":"66","author":"Dukes","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
