Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a disease characterised by fibrofatty replacement of the ventricular myocardium due to specific mutations, leading to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. channels, Connexin 43 and Wnt signalling, potentially modifying myocardial fibrosis.

Background:Serum troponins and CK-MB (creatine kinase-MB) are readily detectable and reliable cardiac-specific biomarkers of subclinical myocardial injury. This study explores the roles of cTnI (cardiac troponin I) and CK-MB in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).Methods:This Higher cTnI (per 0.05

Most patients with VT and structural heart disease preparing for ablation either have or are about to receive an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shortly after the procedure to prevent sudden cardiac death from recurrent ventricular arrhythmias (VA).

Since its identification in 1981 its diagnosis has increased due to the advancements in cardiac imaging. It’s association with ventricular arrythmia (VA) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) underscores the importance of its identification. Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed sustained monomorphic VT at a rate of 160 bpm.

Tackling SCD was in God’s domain, until the brilliance of Dr. Michel Mirowski shrunk the defibrillator and implanted it under the chest in 1980. (Dr. 2020) The un-disputable fact is ischemic DCM has a target to treat, though it is termed as cardiomyopathy. SCD is the leading cause of mortality in heart failure. Reference 1.

The biopsy was consistent with cardiac sarcoidosis. She was given CRT-D (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy-Defibrillator). SCD (sudden cardiac death) from sarcoid heart disease is thought to be caused by either from high-grade AV block or VT. Medical treatment with oral steroids and methotrexate was started.
