He had a history of alcoholics for more than five years. The ECG showed frequent Premature Ventricular Complex (PVC) and recommended to have ambulatory Holter monitoring with conclusion frequent monomorphic right ventricle outflow tract (RVOT) origin PVC. Echocardiography indicated a decrease in left ventricular (LV) function, LV dilatation, and global hypokinetic. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR) was performed, and there was no “edema”and myocardium fibrosis.
