Abstract
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD/C) is one cause of death in young adults in the United States, representing approximately 17% of all ARVD/C cases reported. This study presents 2 cases of ARVD/C diagnosed at a central Texas hospital and reviews the literature regarding this disease. The diagnosis, histology, presentation, prognosis, and therapy are addressed because the rare nature of this disease within the United States makes diagnosis and treatment difficult and creates problems of adaptation for the patient. Clinicians must become more familiar with this potentially fatal cardiac disorder that can create vulnerability within a young adult population.
