Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a rare cardiomyopathy, but a frequent cause of ventricular tachyarrhythmia and sudden cardiac death among young otherwise healthy individuals. This article contains a review of the current knowledge on epidemiology, diagnosis, symptoms and signs as well as theories on etiology and pathogenesis, prognosis and treatment. The aim is to draw attention to the disease as a cause of syncope, ventricular tachycardia and sudden cardiac death.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011379 Prognosis A prediction of the probable outcome of a disease based on a individual's condition and the usual course of the disease as seen in similar situations. Prognostic Factor,Prognostic Factors,Factor, Prognostic,Factors, Prognostic,Prognoses

D016757 Death, Sudden, Cardiac Unexpected rapid natural death due to cardiovascular collapse within one hour of initial symptoms. It is usually caused by the worsening of existing heart diseases. The sudden onset of symptoms, such as CHEST PAIN and CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS, particularly VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA, can lead to the loss of consciousness and cardiac arrest followed by biological death.

D019571 Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia A congenital cardiomyopathy that is characterized by infiltration of adipose and fibrous tissue into the RIGHT VENTRICLE wall and loss of myocardial cells. Primary injuries usually are at the free wall of right ventricular and right atria resulting in ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias.
