Key result
A 43-year-old woman with right ventricular dominant fulminant myocarditis complicated by complete atrioventricular block and refractory ventricular tachycardia was successfully managed with a cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator.
Why the study?
Fulminant myocarditis dominantly damaging the right ventricle is rare, and while function often recovers, some cases show irreversible myocardial damage.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy with a defibrillator (CRT-D) can be an effective management strategy for rare cases of right ventricular dominant fulminant myocarditis complicated by persistent complete atrioventricular block and refractory ventricular tachycardia.
Sato et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Right ventricular dominant fulminant myocarditis (n=1). Cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator (CRT-D) was evaluated. A 43-year-old woman with right ventricular dominant fulminant myocarditis complicated by complete atrioventricular block and refractory ventricular tachycardia was successfully managed with a cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator.
