Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a rare myocardial genetic disease that leads to heart failure and sudden cardiac death. The diagnosis of ARVC remains challenging given its variable presentation. A 66-year-old woman was admitted to our cardiac intensive care unit for the management of a left heart failure flare-up with an atrial flutter, which remains an atypical mode of the revelation of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) retained based the association of genetic predisposition, the presence of repolarization abnormalities on electrocardiogram (EKG), the occurrence of an episode of sustained ventricular tachycardia and imaging data.

- - A 60-year-old woman experienced persistent complete heart block, a serious heart condition often linked to other diseases, despite fixing her electrolyte levels, needing a pacemaker.
- - Investigations revealed her heart block was due to adrenal insufficiency from tuberculosis, a condition that can have varied clinical and biological symptoms.
- - This case emphasizes the rare connection between tuberculosis and heart conduction issues, showcasing the need for clinicians to recognize complex symptoms outside the lungs in tuberculosis patients.
