Arrythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia.

A 10-year-old well and asymptomatic female was referred for screening of acute right ventricular dilatation (ARVD) as she had an elder brother diagnosed with ARVD whom died of sudden cardiac death. Electrocardiography (ECG), transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) were performed. Results of these investigations were suggestive of ARVD. Despite being a rare cardiac disease and largely unrecognised in children and young adult population, ARVD is an important cause of ventricular arrhythmias in this group of patients and is one of the causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in this population.
