          Abstract

          Left ventricular (LV) involvement in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is fairly well known, but the evolution of LV involvement during long-term follow-up has not been well documented. We describe such evolution in a patient followed for 9 years. Evolution was confirmed by a progressive perfusion defect of the LV wall in myocardial scintigrams and by the development of LV asynergy with ventricular aneurysm formation in left ventriculograms. As the right ventricle progressively enlarged, we concluded that ARVC is a diffuse and progressive myocardial disease that affects both ventricles.
