Key result
A 61-year-old male with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy presented with multiple thrombi and ventricular tachycardia of atypical left bundle branch block morphology.
Case Report (n=1)
No
This case highlights that VT with typical LBBB morphology is not an absolute necessity for diagnosing ARVC when the right heart is extremely enlarged, and pulmonary embolism should be considered as a cause of syncope in these patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
ARVC patients with syncope merit thrombus screening; this single case leaves open thrombi as a contributor to outcomes beyond VT.
Gong et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (n=1). Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy was evaluated. A 61-year-old male with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy presented with multiple thrombi and ventricular tachycardia of atypical left bundle branch block morphology.
