Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy: echocardiographic and magnetic resonance imaging in a patient presenting with ventricular tachycardia.
A 62-year-old man presented at our hospital with ventricular tachycardia. The diagnostic workup with echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging that followed revealed a dilated, severely hypokinetic right ventricle with segmental wall dyskinesia suggesting the diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. We present the echocardiographic and magnetic resonance imaging findings, including late enhanced magnetic resonance images.
