Abstract

Arrhythmogenic cardiopathy is a genetic disease that mainly affects young men and mainly involves the right ventricle. It is responsible for up to 25% of sudden deaths in children under 35 years of age [1]. To make its diagnosis, certain criteria are required, such as the characteristic electrocardiographic alterations in sinus rhythm, the presence of documented ventricular tachycardia and structural abnormalities especially in the right ventricle [2]. We present the case of a 25-year-old male patient with a confirmed diagnosis of arrhythmogenic cardiopathy who underwent ablation with a ventricular tachycardia catheter with an endocardial -epicardial approach.
