We presented case where patient suffered from palpitations for previous three to four years, which resolved spontaneously each time lately with persistent chest discomfort. ECG showed widening QRS complexes during sinus rhythm premature (PVCs) various patterns. After initial evaluation MRI was done revealed typical features arrhythmogenic ventricular dysplasia/ cardiomyopathy. The continuing amiodarone 100 mg daily doing well.
