Histological evidence of left ventricular involvement in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia

M Horimoto et al. Jpn Circ J. 1989 Dec.

Abstract

A 40-year-old female with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) demonstrated a reduced motion of the left ventricular (LV) apex. Specimens of LV free wall, obtained by endomyocardial biopsy, histologically revealed prominent interstitial fibrosis with sparse distribution of myocytes. The myocytes were hypertrophic and disrupted with loss of myofibrils. This is a case of ARVD, where LV involvement was histologically verified.
