Syncope and recurrent ventricular tachycardia with a newly identified desmosomal gene mutation
Ventricular arrhythmias in young people most commonly occur due to the presence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, long QT syndrome or Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. We present a case in which the patient had exercise induced syncopal spells and was found to have ventricular tachycardia (VT) during both exercise stress testing and an electrophysiology study. Further genetic studies showed a previ...
متن کاملArrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia and sudden cardiac death in Croatians' young athletes in 25 years.
The paper deals with the sudden cardiac death during training in male athletes in Croatia. The data are a part of a retrospective study dealing with 67 sudden death due to physical activity in men in Croatia during 25 years: from January 1, 1986 to December 31, 2010. Two of them suddenly died during training due to malignant ventricular arrhythmia because of the arrhythmogenic right ventricular...
متن کاملDiagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an infrequently diagnosed condition with a high incidence of sudden cardiac death. While the only option for cure is orthotopic cardiac transplantation, the use of an implantable cardiac defibrillator can be life saving. Accordingly, the prompt recognition of ARVC is crucial. Fortunately, a definitive diagnosis of ARVC can often be made ...
متن کاملArrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy secondary to adipose infiltration as a cause of episodic collapse in a horse
A 15-year-old Clydesdale cross gelding was investigated and managed over a 2-year period for intermittent collapse. The horse presented initially after an observed episode of collapse at rest, and had a resting tachycardia, elevated Cardiac Troponin I and polycythaemia. Multiple dysrhythmias were detected on telemetric electrocardiography. Vital parameters, cardiac rhythm and red cell count ret...
متن کاملExercise-induced ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in a family.
Members of a family have been investigated because of three sudden deaths among them. Two young sisters, aged 12 and 16, died suddenly while swimming and running, while their 19-year-old brother died suddenly during emotional stress. In no case did autopsies reveal any structural abnormalities. Their 39-year-old mother and her 19-year-old daughter gave a history of syncopes, while having a norm...
