Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy

Content

The role of infectious agents in cases of ARVD/C has been proposed due to the common finding of inflammatory infiltrates in the myocardium, suggesting that ARVD/C is a sequela of myocarditis (like dilated cardiomyopathy). A number of viruses have been identified in the hearts of patients with ARVD/C, myocarditis, or DCM. In 1986, a virus called Coxsackievirus B was identified in the hearts of patients with either myocarditis or DCM. Subsequently, it has been shown that another virus, called adenovirus, is also commonly a cause of these conditions.

It has been suggested that when the virus infects the heart, it causes the body to react against the virus, much as the body's own defense system (immune system) normally attacks a virus infection, and this causes inflammation in the heart (myocarditis). Usually the virus will be eliminated, however in some patients the immune system may not totally eliminate the virus, and in these patients, the heart muscle continues to be damaged, leading to DCM. In some people, the body's immune system attacks and damages the heart even though the virus has been eliminated: this is termed auto immune disease. It has been shown that in some patients with ARVD/C, adenovirus and Coxsackievirus may be disease-causing.

We have recently reported a study looking for evidence of virus infection of the heart in 12 patients with non-familial ARVD/C. Enteroviruses (the virus family which includes the Coxsackieviruses) were identified in seven patients and adenovirus type 5 in another two patients.

Investigations of the role of viruses in the development of ARVD/C are ongoing in the Phoebe Willingham Muzzy Pediatric Molecular Cardiology Laboratory, while viral diagnosis is provided by the John Welsh Cardiovascular Diagnostic Laboratory.
