Death due to Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia: A case report
Unlabelled:
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is both a myocardial disease that predominantly affects the right ventricle (RV) and one of the major causes of sudden death in the young and athletes. A 28-year-old man with no signicant medical history, applied to an emergency department with feeling very ill. After his initial examinations, electrocardiography (ECG) showed ventricular extra systoles and he was recommended for admission to a cardiology polyclinic. The next day, his condition worsened and he was dead on arrival at the hospital. A histological examination of heart samples, which were obtained from the RV and LV, revealed the massive replacement of myocardium by fibrous and mature adipose tissue in the RV. In this case, there were no symptoms, family and medical history and its clinical presentation was as an unexpected sudden death.
