Implication

Supports family evaluation for ARVD in VT; leaves open larger studies on inheritance and screening.

Structured PICO

Population

2 patients (a father and his son) presenting with ventricular tachycardia of left bundle-branch block configuration, with no clinical signs of right or left ventricular dysfunction.

Intervention

Diagnostic evaluation including right ventricular angiography, radionuclide imaging, and surgical biopsy.

Outcome

Diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD)

This case series highlights the familial occurrence of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia presenting as ventricular tachycardia and emphasizes the importance of thorough structural evaluation.
