Key result
Postmortem histology reveals ARVD as the cause of SCD in a 15-year-old boy.
Why the study?
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is a rare and often asymptomatic primary cardiomyopathy with unclear etiology that is underdiagnosed and frequently identified postmortem in sudden cardiac death cases.
Population
A single postmortem case of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia

Alerts forensic examiners to ARVD in unexplained deaths; leaves open whether routine histology improves antemortem risk stratification.
Case Report (n=1)
Histological examination is a key method for the postmortem diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, a rare cause of sudden cardiac death.
Davydova et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) (n=1). Histological examination was evaluated on Postmortem diagnosis. Postmortem histological examination revealed arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia as the cause of sudden cardiac death in a 15-year-old boy.
