A 17-year-old boy experienced an episode of palpitations and presyncope while participating in competitive sports. The patient arrived at the emergency room after 30minutes, and the symptoms remitted spontaneously. Resting ECG showed a negative T-wave in V1-2, with no other abnormal findings. Echocardiography and exercise testing were normal. A 24-hour Holter ECG showed frequent ventricular extrasystoles without any complex forms or tachycardias. In view of the patient's history, a Holter monitoring device was implanted and cardiac magnetic resonance was performed. This imaging study showed intense gadolinium uptake at the free right ventricular wall, with no morphological abnormalities or dysfunction. The day after implantation, the warning shown in figure 1 and figure 2 was received during remote monitoring and the patient reported that he had been running.
