Right ventricular dysplasia is characterized by an abnormality in the development of part of the right ventricular musculature. Patients with right ventricular dysplasia may present with ventricular tachycardia, supraventricular arrhythmias, right heart failure or asymptomatic cardiomegaly. Adult patients (22) with right ventricular dysplasia who had recurrent ventricular tachycardia were seen during a 7 yr period. The male/female ratio was 2.7:1. The mean age at the time of hospitalization was 39 yr. All but 1 of the patients had ventricular tachycardia of a left bundle branch block configuration. With few exceptions, the T waves were inverted over the right precordial leads. The heart was usually enlarged and the pulmonary vasculature was usually normal. In 6 patients who had 2-dimensional echocardiograms, all showed increased right ventricular diastolic dimensions. All patients had right ventricular angiography; the diagnosis of right ventricular dysplasia was substantiated during surgery in 12 patients and at autopsy in another. Two other patients who did not have arrhythmias had right ventricular dysplasia diagnosed by right and left heart angiography.
