She was referred for a chest radiograph due to her history of breathlessness and for an ECG based on the examination findings of a murmur.

Article Synopsis
- Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a genetic heart condition mainly found in young males, with variations in severity seen in females, who may show milder symptoms or be diagnosed later in life.
- Some individuals may not show symptoms, while others might experience serious issues like sudden cardiac death, which can occur unexpectedly.
- Diagnosis involves thorough investigations including imaging, ECGs, and genetic testing, with emphasis on recognizing risk factors and family history, while also ensuring proper counseling for patients regarding the limits of genetic testing.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with anteriorly directed mitral regurgitation is a red flag for concomitant pathology: a case report.
Eur Heart J Case Rep
March 2024
Department of Cardiology, St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne, 41 Victoria Parade, Fitzroy, VIC 3065, Australia.
Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is often linked to systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve, typically resulting in a posteriorly directed mitral regurgitation (MR) jet. An anteriorly directed MR jet suggests additional mitral valve pathology that may not be resolved by myectomy alone.
Case Summary: A 58-year-old construction worker with no significant medical history experienced a syncopal event and was admitted to the emergency department with acute pulmonary oedema.
