Ventricular premature contraction is a common arrhythmia in children. Western medicine treatment including propafenone and radiofrequency ablation surgery have been shown good efficacy for ventricular premature contraction, but it has limitation such as adverse medicine reactions and limited indications. Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in ventricular premature contractions treatment. This article reviews the related theory of ventricular premature contraction in traditional Chinese medicine, analyzes the Chinese patent medicine commonly used in clinical treatment of ventricular premature contractions in children, and summarizes their therapeutic effects.
