Left-dominant arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy with a nonsense mutation in DSP.

ABSTRACT: A 74-year-old man had abnormal left ventricular (LV) function according to a perioperative test at a local hospital and was transferred to our institution for further evaluation and treatment. His electrocardiogram demonstrated the presence of premature ventricular contraction with a QRS complex of the right bundle branch block type and superior axis. His echocardiography showed systolic dysfunction of the LV (LV ejection fraction, 44.6%). Cardiac computed tomography imaging revealed banded and patchy densities observed frequently from the middle to epicardial layer of the LV wall. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed fat signals on fat-selective images and late gadolinium enhancement in the mid-wall to subepicardial layers in the LV myocardium. Endomyocardial biopsy revealed the hist
