ARVD merits consideration in natural SCD autopsies; small series leaves open true prevalence and screening needs.
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia or cardiomyopathy (ARVD or ARVC) is an increasingly recognized entity with clinical and forensic implications. This is the first series documenting ARVD in 5 separate cases in forensic autopsies from Turkey declared as natural sudden cardiac death following complete autopsy and toxicologic analysis. There was a male preponderance (M/F=4), with a mean age of 50.
