AbstractArrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia (ARVD) was diagnosed in a nine-year-old boy following the presentation of generalized edema, ascites, and palpitation. Typical signs of ARVD on electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography were detected in initial assessments. On echocardiography, severe right ventricle dysfunction, free tricuspid regurgitation, and left ventricle ejection fraction (EF) of 45% - 50% were reported. Cardiac magnetic resonance images showed severely enlarged right ventricle size with severely reduced systolic function. Prolonged episodes of sinus bradycardia and atrial fibrillation were noted at each hospitalization. Severe LV dysfunction and free Tricuspid regurgitation have not heretofore been reported in the medical literature.en
