title: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy underlies syndrome of right bundle branch block, ST-segment elevation, and sudden death.
abstract: Right ventricular morphologic and/or histologic abnormalities were present in 5 of 6 Japanese men with the Brugada syndrome. Results indicate that arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy may underlie the cardiac manifestations in the Brugada syndrome.
