Abstract Background Premature ventricular complex (PVC) is common in general population. The atrial conduction time (ACT) represents the interval between electrocardiographic P wave and atrial mechanical contraction, and the prolongation of ACT called atrial electromechanical delay (EMD). In the present study, we investigated atrial conduction parameters through echocardiography in patients with frequent PVC. Methods The study involved 54 patients with PVC and 54 healthy volunteers as a control group. A comprehensive echocardiographic examination was done. The time difference between the onset of the p wave and septal Am wave was the PA septal, the time difference between the onset of the p wave and the lateral Am wave was the PA lateral, and the time difference between the onset of the p wave and the tricuspid annulus Am wave was the PA tricuspid. The interatrial EMD was the time difference between the PA lateral and the PA tricuspid, the left atrial (LA) intraatrial delay was the time difference between the PA lateral and the PA septal and the right atrial (RA) intraatrial delay was the time difference between the PA septal and the PA tricuspid. Results LA anterior-posterior dimension and LA maximum volume were significantly larger in the patient group. Left intraatrial EMD, right intraatrial EMD, and interatrial EMD were significantly longer in the patient group. PA lateral, PA septal, PA tricuspid durations were significantly prolonged in the patient group. Conclusions Atrial conduction times were prolonged in patients with frequent PVC.
