Abstract

|
|
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) is a clinical entity characterized by ventricular arrhythmias and a specific ventricular pathology showing fibrofatty infiltration of the right ventricular (RV) free wall. ARVD/C is known as an important cause of sudden cardiac death in young adults. We reported a case of a 38-year-old female who visited us for palpitation and a history of syncope, and was diagnosed with ARVD/C. Ventricular arrhythmias such as frequent ventricular premature beats and ventricular tachycardia were documented. Also, RV enlargement and dysfunction were noted on imaging. Finally, she received an ICD implantation.
