Female patient with frequent premature ventricular contraction (PVC) with arrhythmia induced cardiomyopathy with left ventricle systolic dysfunction. At first patient underwent endocardial end epicardial catheter ablation via the coronary sinus. After these procedures a total amount of 36% of PVC activity was verified with 24 hour EKG holter. Therefore after detailed consideration and due to numerous publications we chose retrograde coronary venous ethanol ablation in third branches. The day after the procedure there was significant decrease in total amount of PVC. Control echocardiography upon dismissal showed an increase in systolic function of left ventricle.

Keywords: Arrhythmia induced cardiomyopathy, Premature ventricular contraction, Retrograde coronary venous ethanol ablation
