Abstract: | To the editor:We read with great interest the article by Yan and o-author 1 entitled A case of sudden death due to arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy,which was published in the previous issue of Chinese Medical Journal.
They presented a case of sudden death due to arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) based on autopsy findings.In lethal cases due to ARVC,they also suggested taking genetic testing as a regular examination to identify their family members who are at risk of ARVC,and seek treatment early.This case gives detailed information and highlights the structural abnormalities and management of the ARVC. |
