Functional mitral stenosis may occur when transmitral flow is impaired in the absence of intrinsic mitral valve disease. We report a case of apparent mitral stenosis associated with severe aortic regurgitation and postoperative resolution after aortic valve replacement. A 54-year...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is a cardiomyopathy characterized pathologically by fibrofatty tissue replacement of the myocyte of the right ventricle (RV) and clinically by life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias in young people. It is a major cause of sudden...

Non-compaction cardiomyopathy (NCC) is characterized by trabeculations in either one or both ventricles. Clinical presentation is highly variable: dyspnea, palpitation, thromboembolic events, arrhythmia, or sudden cardiac death. There are currently no universally-accepted criteri...
