Population
62-year-old female patient with ventricular tachycardia initially suggesting right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia

Intervention
Diagnostic workup including echocardiography, electrophysiological study, and magnetic resonance imaging, followed by implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation

Outcome
Final diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD)

Multimodality imaging and electrophysiological study are crucial for differentiating arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia from benign right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia to guide appropriate ICD implantation.

Cite This Study

Pop-Mandru et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (n=1). Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation was evaluated on Arrhythmia recurrence. Electrophysiological study combined with MRI and echocardiography successfully differentiated arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia from right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia in a 62-year-old female, guiding appropriate ICD implantation.
