C-Reactive Protein in Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy and Relationship with Ventricular Tachycardia

Figure 1

ECG of patient with ARVD/C and VT. A 32-year-old female with recurrent episodes of palpitation and near-syncope was admitted in ICU. Resting 12-lead ECG showed VT (wide complex tachycardia with capture) with rate of 150/min. SR was restored with bolus dose (600 mg during 1 min) of amiodarone. Blood sampling for CRP was drawn immediately after admission. Detailed examination led to the diagnosis of ARVD/C with family (brother) inheritance. ICU, Intensive care unit; VT, Ventricular tachycardia; CRP, C-reactive protein; SR, Sinus rhythm.
