Case report: Multiple biventricular aneurysms in arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT: Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a genetic disease characterized by fibro-fatty myocardial replacement and is clinically associated with malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. It presents a major diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to its complex clinical presentation and multiparametric diagnostic scoring system that includes structural, histological, and electrocardiographic data. A 57-year-old man with a history of palpitation and premature ventricular contractions (PVC) experienced syncope and sustained ventricular tachycardia at a rate of 213 bpm, which was successfully rescued by synchronized cardioversion. Multiple ventricular aneurysms were found in the right ventricular free wall and the left ventricular apical regions, as well as mild biventricular
