Left ventricular non‐compaction (LVNC) cardiomyopathy is an uncommon unclassified or genetic myocardial disorder. Frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) as unique finding in LVNC cardiomyopathy are rare. We report a case of a 36‐year‐old woman in whom isolated LVNC was diagnosed due to an incidental finding of PVCs in pre‐operative consultation. Frequent premature ventricular complexes as unique electrocardiographic finding in left ventricular non‐compaction cardiomyopathy are rare. Thus, physicians must always pay attention to this “benign” arrythmia in order to allow a proper diagnosis.
