Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy Long QT syndrome Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. There is a run of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia — which given the QT prolongation, qualifies as Torsades de Points ( TdP ). The patient did not have a positive family history of epilepsy, sudden cardiac death (SCD) or recurrent syncope.

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.

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. Emerging evidence suggests that combining flecainide and bisoprolol may be efficacious.
