An Atypical “Hot-Phase” ARVC in a PKP2 Carrier

Key Points

This paper investigates the atypical presentation of ARVC in a PKP2 genetic carrier.
Case report analysis focusing on clinical presentation
Assessment of troponin levels and myocardial injury
Comparison with typical ARVC presentations
The patient exhibited elevated troponin levels indicating acute myocardial injury
Symptoms were similar to myocarditis, complicating the diagnosis
The findings underscore the necessity for careful evaluation in genetic carriers

Abstract

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a leading inherited cause of sudden cardiac death in young athletes. Rarely, ARVC may present with acute myocardial injury and troponin elevation, mimicking myocarditis and delaying diagnosis.
