| Popis: | Introduction: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a rare cardiovascular disease that predisposes to ventricular arrhythmias potentially leading to sudden cardiac death (SCD). In 1994 and 2010, an International Task Force document proposed guidelines for the standardized diagnosis of ARVC based on electrocardiographic (ECG), arrhythmic, morphological, histopathologic, and clinical-genetic factors.1-3 Our case report shows how important is to diagnose this disease, because the patients with ARVC should undergo lifelong clinical follow-up to periodically evaluate new onset or worsening of symptoms, progression of morphological and/or functional ventricular abnormalities, and ventricular arrhythmias in order to reassess the risk of SCD. |
