A case report of isolated arrhythmogenic left ventricular cardiomyopathy: phenotypes, diagnosis, and treatment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Isolated arrhythmogenic left ventricular cardiomyopathy (IALVC) is a hereditary cardiomyopathy that is characterized by the replacement of left ventricular (LV) cardiomyocytes with fibrous and adipose tissue.

Case summary

A 55-year-old male patient presented with recurrent chest pain and palpitations characterized by episodes of monomorphic ventricular tachycardia and T-wave inversion. Coronary angiography was conducted to rule out myocardial ischaemia as the cause of chest pain. Echocardiography results revealed ventricular aneurysm formation at the apex of the left ventricle. Structural alterations of the cardiac magnetic resonance were consistent with the diagnosis of arrhythmogenic left ventricular cardiomyopathy with LV alterations without right ventricular i
