Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy suspected by electrocardiogram: confirmed by angiography.

Late presentation of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy: a case report

INTRODUCTION Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is an inherited myocardial disease affecting predominantly young people and manifests as sustained ventricular tachycardia with left bundle branch block morphology, sudden death or isolated right or biventricular heart failure. However, its first manifestation as sustained ventricular tachycardia in older patients without preceding sy...

A 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...

Improving the interpretation of the athlete's electrocardiogram.

This editorial refers to ‘Clinical significance of electrocardiographic right ventricular hypertrophy in athletes: comparison with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and pulmonary hypertension’, by A. Zaidi et al., on page 3649 and ‘Should axis deviation or atrial enlargement be categorised as abnormal in young athletes? The athlete’s electrocardiogram: time for re-appraisal of mar...

Correlations between echocardiography and cardiovascular magnetic resonance in a patient with midventricular stress cardiomyopathy.

MOTS CLÉS Cardiomyopathie induite par le stress ; A 73-year-old woman without previous medical history was admitted for suspected persistent thoracic anginal pain following a violent suffocating cough. On admission, results of physical examination and per-critical electrocardiogram were normal. Aortic dissection and pulmonary embolism were ruled out by computed tomography scan. The troponin pea...

Arrhythmogenic Left Ventricular Cardiomyopathy: Suspected by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Confirmed by Identification of a Novel Plakophilin-2 Variant.

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia clinical presentation and diagnostic evaluation: results from the North American Multidisciplinary Study.

BACKGROUND Prior reports on patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D) focused on individuals with advanced forms of the disease. Data on the diagnostic performance of various testing modalities in newly identified individuals suspected of having ARVC/D are limited. OBJECTIVE The purpose of the Multidisciplinary Study of Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular C...
