Two-dimensional echocardiographic diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia presenting as frequent ventricular extrasystoles in a child.
Two-dimensional echocardiographic investigation of a child with frequent isolated ventricular extrasystoles revealed an area of right ventricular dysplasia. This finding may signify a less favorable prognosis and justifies careful echocardiography in the evaluation of asymptomatic ventricular extrasystoles of left bundle branch block morphology in children.
