AbstractArrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy is an inherited cardiomyopathy characterised by ventricular arrhythmias and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy diagnosis is based on criteria that take into account electrical and structural cardiac abnormalities, as well as mutation analysis. Appropriate pharmacological therapy and the prevention of sudden death with implantable defibrillators are important in the management of these patients. Exercise is considered an important environmental factor for the development and progression of the disease.

Clinical And Pathological Features

The right ventricle may be the source of potentially lethal arrhythmias. This paper presents a case of sudden cardiac death due to right ventricular dysplasia, a cardiomyopathy predominantly affecting the right ventricle. The clinical and pathological features of this unusual cardiomyopathy and its relationship to Uhl's anomaly and right ventricular dilated cardiomyopathy are discussed.
