Two middle-aged women had evidence suggesting right ventricular hypertrophy on routine electrocardiograms. Their echocardiograms showed right ventricular thickening and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed right ventricular fatty infiltration. Neither patient fulfilled the criteria for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, and both had a benign clinical course. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
