Diverse manifestation of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia in a family.
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is a cardiomyopathy of unknown cause associated with life-threatening arrhythmias. The purpose of this case report is two-fold: (i) To highlight the utility of a definite set of diagnostic criteria encompassing structural, histologic, electrocardiographic, arrhythmic and genetic factors in establishing diagnosis of ARVD in institutions like ours which are handicapped by lack of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and endomyocardial biopsy facilities, (ii) to present diverse arrhythmic manifestations in a single family.
