An Underdiagnosed ARVC Case until the Age of 67-Years with Two Large Aneurysms in the Right Ventricle
Journal Title: Clinical Medical Reviews and Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a cardiomyopathy that manifests with ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF) and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Hence immediate intervention is necessary for this type of presentation. A 67-year-old man was admitted to our emergency department with palpitation. Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed VT. Despite amiodarone and lidocaine administration VT persisted.
