Asymptomatic Athlete With Short-Coupled Premature Ventricular Contractions

Abstract

We present an asymptomatic 26-year-old athlete, with no family history of sudden cardiac death and no structural heart disease, who displayed short-coupled premature ventricular contractions on exercise test and Holter monitoring. The rarity of the case as well as management dilemmas are discussed. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
