New diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in an octogenarian with the help of Fontaine electrocardiographic leads

Abstract

We report an 85-year-old man with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy who presented with monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. This is the oldest patient recorded with this disease. The presence of epsilon waves by the Fontaine lead system provided a high degree of suspicion for the disease. Published on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology. © The Author 2010.
