Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy is a heart muscle disease where fat or fibrotic tissue replaces heart muscle. This study describes cases with significant left ventricular involvement, suggesting it may be a more widespread condition than previously thought.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Pathology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), also known as arrhythmogenic dysplasia, is a heart muscle disease characterized by fibrofatty replacement of the myocardium.
  • While typically affecting the right ventricle, ARVC has been occasionally associated with left ventricular involvement.

Observation:

  • This study describes two cases of sudden death with extensive left ventricular involvement in arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.
  • One case exhibited biventricular fibrofatty infiltration, while the other showed localized fatty and fibrotic lesions exclusively in the left ventricle wall.

Findings:

  • The findings suggest that the varied locations of fibroadipose tissue infiltration represent different manifestations of the same underlying disease process.
  • This challenges the traditional view of ARVC as a primarily right-sided disorder.

Implications:

  • The term 'arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy' may be more appropriate to encompass the spectrum of ventricular involvement observed.
  • Further research into the genetic and molecular underpinnings of ARVC is warranted to understand the mechanisms driving biventricular disease.
