Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy Underlies Syndrome of Right Bundle Branch Block, ST-Segment Elevation, and Sudden Death

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy Underlies Syndrome of Right Bundle Branch Block, ST-Segment Elevation, and Sudden Death

Right ventricular morphologic and/or histologic abnormalities were present in 5 of 6 Japanese men with the Brugada syndrome. Results indicate that arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy may underlie the cardiac manifestations in the Brugada syndrome.
