T-wave Inversions in Precordial Leads: A Case Study of Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy in a Patient With Recurrent Syncope.

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a rare sudden cardiac death (SCD) syndrome characterized by ventricular arrhythmias of right ventricular (RV) origin. This case follows the presentation of ARVC in an otherwise healthy 26-year-old male. The patient was observed for one week after being admitted from the emergency department secondary to pre-syncope with pathognomonic findings on his electrocardiogram (EKG), echocardiogram, and cardiac imaging. The patient was started on beta-blockers, which ultimately he could not tolerate due to bradycardia, and the recommendation of an automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (AICD) was refused. He was discharged without any complications or ventricular arrhythmias on telemetry while hospitalized.
