Familial right ventricular dysplasia with biventricular involvement and inflammatory infiltration. Heart Muscle Disease Study Group. [PDF]
Heart, 1996 The aetiology of right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy is presently unknown. A genetic background has been suggested, but myocarditis may play a part in its pathogenesis. Two familial cases of right ventricular dysplasia, one of whom had also a diagnosis of myocarditis, are reported. Both patients presented with ventricular arrhythmias. The father
