Zusammenfassung:We report an adult patient with right ventricular cardiomyopathy similar to Uhl's anomaly. In this patient an interesting manifestation is a transient atrial flutter with complete A-V block. Right ventricular cardiomyopathy (arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia) is considered a cause of life-threatening arrhythmia [1,2]. The right ventricular musculature is partially or totally absent and is replaced by fatty and fibrous tissue. Patients may present with ventricular arrhymias, right heart failure or asymptomatic cardiomegaly [3,4]. Only a few cases with atrioventricular conduction disturbance have been reported in the literature by now [5]. We report such a case.
