Congenital heart disease combined with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy: A CARE compliant case report and literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a hereditary cardiomyopathy disease discovered in 1994. Though there are advances in diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, early diagnosis is still difficult especially when it is combined with other diseases with similar pathophysiologic changes, such as left to right shunt congenital heart disease (CHD). In this paper, we reported a case of CHD combined with ARVC.

Patient concerns

The patient was referred to us for chest tightness and shortness of breath after physical activities. His cardiac MRI indicated the possibility of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. He was diagnosed with a large atrial septal defect (ASD) through ultrasound examination.
