Abstract:
A 10-year-old well and asymptomatic female was referred for
screening of acute right ventricular dilatation (ARVD) as she
had an elder brother diagnosed with ARVD whom died of
sudden cardiac death. Electrocardiography (ECG),
transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and cardiac magnetic
resonance imaging (CMR) were performed. Results of these
investigations were suggestive of ARVD. Despite being a
rare cardiac disease and largely unrecognised in children
and young adult population, ARVD is an important cause of
ventricular arrhythmias in this group of patients and is one
of the causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in this
population.
