New Features of Electrocardiogram in a Case Report of Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy: A Care-Compliant Article.
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a crucial health problem. With sudden death often being the first presentation, early diagnosis for ARVC is essential. Up to date, electrocardiogram (ECG) is a widely used diagnostic method without invasive harms. To diagnose and treat ARVC as well as possible, we should clearly elucidate its pathophysiological alterations. A 66-year-old...
متن کاملHigh interobserver variability in the assessment of epsilon waves: Implications for diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia.
BACKGROUND Revision of the Task Force diagnostic criteria for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D) has increased their sensitivity for the diagnosis of early and familial forms of the disease. The epsilon wave is a major diagnostic criterion in the context of ARVC/D, which, however, remains not quantifiable and therefore may leave room for substantial subjective in...
متن کاملElectrocardiographic features of disease progression in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia
BACKGROUND Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D) is considered a progressive cardiomyopathy. However, data on the clinical features of disease progression are limited. The aim of this study was to assess 12-lead surface electrocardiographic (ECG) changes during long-term follow-up, and to compare these findings with echocardiographic data in our large cohort of pati...
متن کاملArrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy: a challenging disease of the intercalated disc.
A 52-year-old male patient, a former competitive athlete, was admitted to the hospital because of recurrent episodes of palpitations and presyncope, which occurred while he was running in the course of the previous 12 months. Family history was significant for a first-degree cousin who received an implantable cardioverter-defibrilla-tor (ICD) at 38 years of age because of an unclassified cardio...
متن کاملA classic case of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and literature review
Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a relatively under-recognized hereditary cardiomyopathy. It is characterized pathologically by fibro-fatty infiltration of right ventricular (RV) myocardium and clinically by consequences of RV electrical instability. Timely intervention with device therapy and pharmacotherapy may help reduce the risk of arrhythmic events or sudden cardi...
