Recurrent Syncope in a Patient With Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy.
Curēus 2023 September
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an autosomal inherited cardiac condition characterized by fibroadipose tissue replacement of the right ventricular muscle, leading to structural changes and a high risk for ventricular arrhythmias, a gradual decline in right ventricular function, and sudden cardiac death. ARVC has an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern with variable expression among patients, typically affecting young adults. Genetic mutations affecting the cardiac desmosome genes have been widely reported. Intense exercise has been hypothesized as one of the drivers of ARVC's pathogenesis. Due to its non-specific presentation, it can become a diagnostic challenge for physicians with delayed care. We report a case of a male adult with a history of recurrent syncope and atypical chest pain who developed ventricular tachycardia on admission. This case aims to highlight the unspecific manifestations of ARVC and its main electrocardiographic features for an early diagnosis.
