RESUMEN
Arritmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is characterized by the gradual replacement of myocytes by adipose and fibrous tissue. Described in 1977, is considered a potentially lethal cause of cardiac disease poorly understood. This disorder usually involves the right ventricle and has been associated with arrthymia, heart failure, and sudden death. In this paper, we report a case of a 25-year-old patient with syncope associated with ventricular extrasystoles. A magnetic resonance imaging was performed and showed findings that support ARVD diagnose.

A displasia arritmogênica do ventrículo direito (DAVD) é caracterizada pela substituição dos miócitos por tecido fibrogorduroso. Descrita em 1977, é considerada uma doença cardíaca potencialmente letal ainda pouco entendida. Afeta primariamente o ventrículo direito e tem sido associada a arritmias, insuficiência cardíaca e morte súbita. O objetivo deste artigo é descrever o caso clínico de um paciente de 25 anos com síncope associada a extra-sístoles ventriculares e achados de ressonância magnética do coração compatíveis com DAVD.
