Two cases present patients with abruptly manifesting numerous ventricular ectopy, without stenocardia and dyspnea, and without overt structural affliction of the heart or symptoms of ischemia during bicycle ergometry stress test. Despite this, coronary arteriography revealed grave affliction of coronary arteries and follow-up revascularization resulted in elimination of ventricular ectopy. Thus the ventricular ectopic activity was the only syndrome of a severe coronary insufficiency leading up to its timely diagnostics and treatment.
