Implication

May warrant family screening in RV dilatation with arrhythmias; hypothesis-generating for penetrance and genetics.

Structured PICO

P
Population
3 siblings with cardiomyopathy of unknown cause characterized by right ventricular dilatation, along with 33 additional family members from three generations who were investigated.
O
Outcome
Clinical course including arrhythmias, conduction blocks, embolism, and mortality

This case series describes a familial right ventricular dilated cardiomyopathy characterized by severe arrhythmogenic and conduction abnormalities with high mortality.
