Key result
A 52-year-old man presenting with ventricular tachycardia mimicking an acute coronary syndrome was successfully diagnosed with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and treated with a dual chamber pacemaker.
Case Report (n=1)
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy can present with ventricular tachycardia mimicking acute coronary syndrome.
Consider ARVC in VT mimicking ACS; single-case evidence leaves open optimal pacing strategies.
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is an infrequently diagnosed, genetically determined disease that leads to significant clinical consequences, including progressive heart failure and ventricular arrhythmias accounting for sudden cardiac death. We report the case of a 52-year-old patient who presented with ventricular tachycardia and features of an acute coronary syndrome. However, routine tests excluded critical coronary stenosis and the final diagnosis was arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.

Zandecki et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (n=1). Dual chamber pacemaker implantation was evaluated on Clinical diagnosis and stabilization. A 52-year-old man presenting with ventricular tachycardia mimicking an acute coronary syndrome was successfully diagnosed with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and treated with a dual chamber pacemaker.
