  • Title: Right ventricular dilated cardiomyopathy.
    Author: Fitchett DH, Sugrue DD, MacArthur CG, Oakley CM.
    Journal: Br Heart J; 1984 Jan; 51(1):25-9. PubMed ID: 6689917.
    Abstract:
    Fourteen patients with predominantly right sided dilated cardiomyopathy were studied, of whom five died suddenly. The condition is characterised by male preponderance, syncope, ventricular tachycardia, which typically has a left bundle branch block pattern on the surface electrocardiogram, and right heart failure. The diagnosis should be considered in patients presenting with otherwise unexplained ventricular tachycardia or syncope; the diagnosis may be readily missed because of the nonspecific nature or absence of signs.
