Abstract

Two autopsied cases clinically compatible with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia were pathologically examined. Residual cell infiltration and irregular adipofibrosis suggested a pathogenesis of chronic myocarditis in these cases.

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a congenital cardiomyopathy that is characterized by infiltration of adipose and fibrous tissue into the right ventricle wall and loss of myocardial cells. Primary injuries usually are at the free wall of the right ventricular and right atria resulting in ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias.
