Abstract

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is rarely diagnosed in childhood. We describe the case of a 9-year-old girl with genetically confirmed ARVC who presented with syncope, ventricular arrhythmia, and biventricular myocardial dysfunction. This case highlights the need for development of pediatric ARVC diagnosis criteria specific for pediatric patients and discusses potential diagnostic improvement using echocardiographic deformation imaging. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)
