| Popis: | 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. |
