Left-Dominant Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 cardiomyopathy.

A 62-year-old man admitted for presyncope presented two symptomatic sustained ventricular tachycardia with right bundle branch morphology and inferior axis suggesting a pathology of the left ventricular lateral wall, the site where Cardiac Magnetic Resonance demonstrated a thinned, hypokinetic segment with fibro-fatty subepicardial infiltration. A very localized Left Dominant Arrhythmogenic Car...

“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...
متن کاملMutational heterogeneity, modifier genes, and environmental influences contribute to phenotypic diversity of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy is one of the leading causes of sudden cardiac death in the < or =35-year age group. The broad phenotypic spectrum encompasses left-dominant and biventricular subtypes, characterized by early left ventricular involvement, as well as the classic right-dominant form, better known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. Mendelian inheritance pat...

To determine the phenotype and natural history of a founder genetic subtype of autosomal dominant arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) caused by a p.S358L mutation in TMEM43. The age of onset of cardiac symptoms, clinical events and test abnormalities were studied in 412 subjects (258 affected and 154 unaffected), all of which occurred in affected males significantly earlier a...

Left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) is a clinically heterogeneous disorder characterized by a trabecular meshwork and deep intertrabecular myocardial recesses that communicate with the left ventricular cavity. Several genetic causes of LVNC have been reported, with variable modes of inheritance, including autosomal dominant and X-linked inheritance, but relatively few responsib...
