  • Title: Exercise-induced right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy--an emerging condition distinct from arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy.
    Author: Harper RW, Mottram PM.
    Journal: Heart Lung Circ; 2009 Jun; 18(3):233-5. PubMed ID: 18396459.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a 32-year-old female world champion triathlete who developed exercise induced recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT). Investigations supported a diagnosis of the newly recognised condition "exercise induced right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy" (EIRVD/C). The VT could be easily terminated by burst pacing from the RV apex and the athlete has been successfully treated with an internal cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).
