Abstract：Objective To explore the clinical characteristics,diagnosis,and treatment plan of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy through a typical case and in combination with diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines.Methods The clinical data of one case of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed and discussed in conjunction with relevant literature.Results The patient underwent successful implantable cardioverter defibrillator(ICD)surgery treatment.After surgery,the patient perceived one discharge of the ICD and electrocardiogram was performed,which showed ventricular tachycardia.Symptomatic treatment was given and ICD related parameters were adjusted.After nearly 5 years of follow-up,the patient did not experience any further episodes of palpitations or chest tightness,and the ICD did not discharge.The patient was able to participate in daily work normally.Conclusion The clinical characteristics of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy are non-specific,and its diagnosis often requires a combination of clinical symptoms,signs,imaging examinations,and other diagnostic methods for it to be confirmed.ICD implantation is of great significance for patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy who meet the indications for ICD implantation.
