Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), formerly called arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/ARVC), is a myocardial structural abnormality disease with clinical presentation of cardiac arrhythmia. It is characterized by the replacement of the myocardium wit...

description Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), formerly called arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/ARVC), is a myocardial structural abnormality disease with clinical presentation of cardiac arrhythmia. It is characterized by the replacement of the myocardium with fibrofatty tissue. We present a case of a young male who met two major criteria for definite diagnosis of ARVC: early transition inverted t waves in lead V1-V4 and MRI showed right ventricle (RV) dyskinesia with RV ejection fraction (EF) < 40%, both satisfying the two major criteria of EKG and MRI required for definitive diagnosis.
