Arrhythmogenic dysplasia of the right ventricle as a nosological entity was described relatively recently. However, at present, it is gradually being diagnosed more frequently. The authors describe the typical clinical picture of this disease in one of several patients with this disease, who were hospitalised at SUSCH. The authors describe the diagnostical value of individual findings. They indicate the importance of knowledge of individual diagnostical criteria in order to be able to recognize this disease and distinguish it from idiopathic ventricular tachycardia, the prognosis of which is generally better and also the therapeutical approach less aggressive. (Fig. 6, Ref. 29).
