title: A case of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia with atrial flutter.
abstract: A 57-year-old male who had arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) with recurrent atrial flutter (AF) is reported. The patient had more frequent episodes of AF than of ventricular arrhythmias. Magnetic resonance imaging, echocardiography and right ventriculography revealed dilatation of the right ventricle and endomyocardial biopsy specimens from the right ventricle showed findings which were compatible with ARVD. The left ventricular specimen, however, also revealed a loss of myocytes and interstitial fibroelastic changes. The present case demonstrates an overlap of post-inflammatory or primary endomyocardial fibroelastic changes with ARVD.
