Abstract

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is a progressive degeneration and replacement of the Right ventricular (RV) myocardial tissue by fat and fibrosis and produce clinical condition. Desmosome gene mutations are only the causative state for ARVD hereditary disorder. The arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy incidence is about 1/1000-5000. Mostly young people and athletes are bearing the clinical presentations include presyncope, syncope, ventricular tachycardias or ventricular fibrillation leading to cardiac arrest. We report about the first case of Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging to diagnose a case Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) of a 34-year-old male from Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh who was referred to cardiac emergency for the evaluation recurrent dizzy spells.
