Abstract

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a rare inherited cardiomyopathy characterised by right ventricular dysfunction, ventricular arrhythmias and increased risk of sudden cardiac death. Due to the replacement of myocardium with fibro-fatty and fibrous tissue, patients with ARVC are prone to develop ventricular tachycardia. Histologically, it is often reported as the 'triangle of dysplasia' involving the inflow tract, outflow tract and apex of the right ventricle.2 We describe a 20-years-old patient who collapsed during a futsal match and was subsequently diagnosed to have ARVC with a right ventricular thrombus from cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
