Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is a progressive condition with the right ventricular myocardium being replaced by fibrofatty tissue. It is a hereditary disorder mostly caused by desmosome gene mutations. The prevalence of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is about 1/1000-5000. Clinical presentation is usually related to ventricular tachycardias, syncope, presyncope or ventricular fibrillation leading to cardiac arrest, mostly in young people and athletes. We report a case of a 17-year-old boy from Turkey, who was referred to our cardiology department for an ECG, required of him prior to joining a football team.
致心律失常性右室心肌病(ARVD)是一种进行性疾病,其右心室心肌被纤维脂肪组织替代。它是一种遗传性疾病,主要由桥粒基因突变引起。致心律失常性右室心肌病的患病率约为1/1000 - 5000。临床表现通常与室性心动过速、晕厥、先兆晕厥或导致心脏骤停的心室颤动有关,多见于年轻人和运动员。我们报告一例来自土耳其的17岁男孩,他因加入足球队前需进行心电图检查而被转诊至我们的心脏病科。
