Hypothesis-generating for LV-predominant ARVC and myocarditis as trigger; single case leaves open apoptosis mechanisms and diagnostic criteria.
This case demonstrates that arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy can atypically present with severe left ventricular impairment prior to right ventricular involvement, and suggests myocarditis may trigger or accelerate the apoptotic process leading to ARVC.
Suzuki et al. (2000) studied this question.
