چکیده

A clinical case of a 10-year-old male patient is reported. His dilated and prevailing right ventricular myocardiopathy shows diagnostic difficulties between previous myocarditis etiology and arrhythmogenic dysplasia. As the elements are not pathognomonic of one or other cause, the increase of cardiac enzymes in subacute stage maybe tends to the supposition of previous myocarditis. Hence, the questioning that many cases labeled as arrhythmogenic dysplasia can truly correspond to the possibility of evolutional myocarditis. The controversial clinic management is disputable.

A unique association of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia and acute myocarditis, as assessed by cardiac MRI: a case report

BACKGROUND Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD), is a genetic disorder of the heart, which mainly involves the right ventricle. It is characterized by hypokinetic areas at the free wall of the right ventricle (RV) or both ventricles, where myocardium is replaced by fibrous or fatty tissue. ARVD is an important cause of ventricular arrhythmias in children and young adults. Although ...

Left-Dominant Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy

Background In the absence of coronary disease and left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction, lateral T-wave inversion and arrhythmia of LV origin are often considered benign. Similarly, chest pain with enzyme release might be attributed to viral myocarditis. We hypothesized that these abnormalities might be manifestations of the “left-dominant” subtype of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardi...

Arrhythmogenic Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy: Insights from the Rationale of Disease Nomenclature and Clinical Perspectives

“Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia” (ARVD), a heart muscle disorder characterized by the presence of fibro-fatty tissue and ventricular electrical vulnerability related to sudden death, was first described in 1977 by a French team. Since then, other terms such as “arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy” (ARVC), “arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy” (AC), “left-dominant arrhythmogeni...

Perioperative management of severe head injury in a patient with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia.

ARRHYTHMOGENIC right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is a recently described form of cardiomyopathy characterized by the occurrence of ventricular tachycardia of right ventricular origin. ARVD is characterized by fibrofatty replacement of the right myocardium, linked in part to both apoptotic cell death and patchy myocarditis. ARVD is an important cause of sudden arrhythmic death in young patients...

The detection of cardiotropic viruses in the myocardium of patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy.

OBJECTIVES We sought to investigate the role of cardiotropic viruses, including adenovirus, cytomegalovirus (CMV), enterovirus and parvovirus, in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C). BACKGROUND Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy is characterized by a gradual loss of myocytes, inflammatory infiltrates and replacement by fatty and fibrous ti...
