A rare presentation of spontaneous ventricular tachycardia in young adult

Abstract

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is a common cause of sudden cardiac death in young adults. It is a disease that has a wide spectrum of presentation. Early identification of the disorder is of paramount importance considering the fatal complications. Here, with this case, a rare sporadic presentation of ARVD, we try to discuss the various presentations, methods of diagnosis and options for treatment for this frequently masquerading and occasionally fatal disorder of cardiac myocytes.
