title: [Cardiomyopathy of the right ventricle revealed by pulmonary embolism].
abstract: The authors report a case of cardiomyopathy of the right ventricle revealed suddenly in a presentation of pulmonary embolism in relation to a large thrombus that developed in an enormous, extremely hypokinetic right ventricle. The scenario suggests dysplasia without rhythm disorder. This case allows a discussion on the multiple variants of arhythmogenic dysplasia of the right ventricle.
