Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia: Case Presentation and Review of the Literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
An 18 years old female died suddenly while sunbathing. Her family consulted an electro physiologist. He scanned the family for long QT, Brugada and ARVD. ECGs were performed on all the family members, which showed PVC’s in one of her cousins, for whom a 24 hours recording ECG showed 200 polymorphic PVCs. Echocardiogram was normal, and Signal-Averaged ECG (SAECG) is negative, he adopted a “watch and see” strategy (Figure 1-2).

Management of a rare case of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia in pregnancy: a case report
INTRODUCTION Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a heritable disease of the heart muscle characterized by fibrofatty degeneration of cardiomyocytes. Patients present with ventricular arrhythmias or congestive heart failure, and sometimes sudden cardiac death occurs. Prenatal diagnosis has become possible with the detection of mutations, but, to the best of our knowledge, no case of pr...

متن کاملA unique association of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia and acute myocarditis, as assessed by cardiac MRI: a case report
BACKGROUND Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD), is a genetic disorder of the heart, which mainly involves the right ventricle. It is characterized by hypokinetic areas at the free wall of the right ventricle (RV) or both ventricles, where myocardium is replaced by fibrous or fatty tissue. ARVD is an important cause of ventricular arrhythmias in children and young adults. Although ...
متن کاملArrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia presenting as acute coronary syndrome: a case report.
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is underdiagnosed cardiomyopathy which commonly presents in young adults with ventricular tachycardia or sudden death. We report a case of ARVD presenting with features of acute coronary syndrome. The suspicion of ARVD came only when echocardiogram revealed abnormal shape and wall motion of right ventricle, which was later confirmed by right ven...
متن کاملArrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy Involving Isolated Ventricular Septum: Case Report
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is a disorder in which normal myocardium is replaced by fibrofatty tissue. This disorder usually involves the right ventricle, but the left ventricle and septum also may be affected. Patients with ARVD are usually men younger than 35 years who complain of chest pain or rapid heart rate. In some cases, sudden cardiac death is the first presentati...
