frequent PVCs

I have frequent PVCs (about 1 out of every 3 beats). My EF is 35%. Are these likely to be related?

They are most likely related.  Any structural change in the ventricles can increase PVC activity.  Whether the PVCs caused the cardiomyopathy or vise versa is best answered by your cardiologist.  You should find out what the cause of the cardiomyopathy is.
