P Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy Left-Dominant Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy An UnderRecognized Clinical Entity

Background In the absence of coronary disease and left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction, lateral T-wave inversion and arrhythmia of LV origin are often considered benign. Similarly, chest pain with enzyme release might be attributed to viral myocarditis. We hypothesized that these abnormalities might be manifestations of the “left-dominant” subtype of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.
