A 27-year follow-up of a patient with ARVD showed progressive deterioration of right ventricular function and progression of epsilon waves, with unclear relation to ventricular arrhythmias.
Case Report (n=1)
A 27-year follow-up of a patient with ARVD highlights the progressive deterioration of right ventricular function and progression of epsilon waves on surface ECG.
This case report describes clinical features, especially of surface ECG changes, observed for 27 years in a patient with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD). The course of this patient was characterized by progressive deterioration of right ventricular function and progression of delayed potentials (so-called epsilon waves) following QRS complexes. However, the relation between ventricular arrhythmias and ECG changes or the degree of right ventricular abnormality was difficult to discern.
Obata et al. (Sun,) conducted a case report in Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) (n=1). Clinical observation was evaluated on Clinical features and surface ECG changes. A 27-year follow-up of a patient with ARVD showed progressive deterioration of right ventricular function and progression of epsilon waves, with unclear relation to ventricular arrhythmias.
