Unusual manifestations of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia as ventricular fibrillation, atrial paralysis, and hypoexcitable right ventricle.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ventricular fibrillation occurred in an apparently healthy 19 year old man. The results of non-invasive and invasive studies suggested right ventricular dysplasia. Electrophysiological studies showed atrial paralysis, hypoexcitability of multiple areas of the right ventricle, and inducible poorly tolerated ventricular tachycardia.

Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Arrhythmias: Benign Or Early Stage Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy/Dysplasia?
Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) arising from the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) are a common and heterogeneous entity. Idiopathic right ventricular arrhythmias (IdioVAs) are generally benign, with excellent ablation outcomes and long-term arrhythmia-free survival, and must be distinguished from other conditions associated with VAs arising from the right ventricle: the differential diagnos...
متن کاملNew manifestations of electrophysiological remodeling of heart during experimental model of atrial fibrillation in cirrhotic rat isolated heart
Introduction: The present study is aimed to evaluate electrophysiological remodeling of atrioventricular (AV) node and ventricular conduction during experimental atrial fibrillation (AF) model in isolated heart of cirrhotic rats. Methods: Cirrhosis-induced electrophysiological remodeling was evaluated in 24 isolated retrogradely perfused rat hearts in 2 groups (control and cirrhotic). Cirrho...
متن کاملArrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy presenting with intra-operative aborted sudden cardiac death and TakotsuboLike left ventricular functional abnormalities.
A 46-year-old female under treatment with flecainide for atrial fibrillation developed cardiopulmonary arrest secondary to ventricular fibrillation during an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The ECG after cardioversion demonstrated a prolonged QTc interval with elevated cardiac enzymes. A diagnosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy was made after angiography demonstrated normal coronary arterie...
متن کاملThe multiple facets of right ventricular cardiomyopathies.
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) was the term originally used to identify a new cardiac entity characterized by right ventricular arrhythmias and juvenile sudden death. Recognition of this disease was the result of the investigation of a group of patients who had no cardiac abnormalities on physical examination but developed episodic right ventricular tachycardia. Treatment by ...
متن کاملElectrical Storm or Naxos Syndrome in an Adult Causing Recurrent Syncope.
Among the rare and well-known causes of sudden cardiac death by malignant arrthymias is a condition called arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. It commonly presents with right ventricular dilatation, dysfunction and ventricular tachycardia of left bundle branch morphology due to fibro-fatty infiltration of right ventricle in second to fifth decade of life, making it an unrecognized ...
