From primary tricuspid regurgitation to arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy

Kardiol Pol. 2013;71(10):1079-81. doi: 10.5603/KP.2013.0265.

Abstract

Since arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is still an under-recognised clinical entity, its 'deceitful' course requires alertness of physicians, and - in particular - awareness of its less typical manifestations. Therefore, we present a case report of a 52-year-old male subject with signs and symptoms of right ventricular heart failure and marked tricuspid regurgitation.
