Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy
Arrythmogenic right ventricular (RV) cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a cardiomyopathy characterized pathologically by fibrofatty replacement primarily of the RV and clinically by life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias in apparently healthy young people. The prevalence of the disease has been estimated at 1 in 5,000 individuals, although this estimate will likely increase as awareness of the conditio...
متن کاملArrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) has evolved from postmortem pathology at to a diagnosable clinical condition, and holds promise for definitive genetic diagnosis. Its prevalence is between 1/1,000 and 1/5,000, with 10% of deaths occurring before age 19 and 50% before age 35. When analyzed against age-specific norms, the electrocardiography (ECG) and signal-averaged ECG (SA...
متن کاملArrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy associated ventricular tachycardia misdiagnosed as idiopathic right ventricular outflow tract origin and its management
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D) is an autosomal dominant genetic form of cardiomyopathy (CM), which primarily affects the right ventricle (RV) and results in life threatening ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Diagnosis is difficult due to the broad spectrum of phenoltypic variations, especially in the early stage. Clinical suspicion shoul...
متن کاملIncremental value of electroanatomical mapping for the diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in a patient with sustained ventricular tachycardia
Introduction Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a genetically determined heart muscle disease with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from concealed myocardial abnormalities to overt clinical disease with lifethreatening arrhythmias and/or ongoing heart failure. Owing to the heterogeneous nature of the disease and its clinical manifestations, there is not...
متن کاملContribution of electroanatomical mapping to the diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in a patient with sustained ventricular tachycardia.
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a primary cardiomyopathy, characterized mainly by anatomic and functional defects of the right ventricle. In many cases its diagnosis is quite difficult in spite of the existence of defined diagnostic criteria for the disease. We describe an interesting case of a patient with sustained ventricular tachycardia derived from the right ventr...
