Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in monozygotic twin sisters, and persistent left superior vena cava in one complicating implantation of ICD
Mehmet Ali Astarcıoğlu, Mehmet Yaymacı, Taner Şen, Celal Kilit, Basri AmasyalıDepartment of Cardiology, Dumlupınar University Evliya Celebi Training And Research Hospital, Kutahya, TurkeyArrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited cardiomyopathy characterized histologically by fibro-fatty replacement of heart muscle, and clinically by ventricular arrhythmias and right ventricular dysfunction. This report presents monozygotic twins with ARVC, suggesting a genetic abnormality as the most probable cause.
