Myocarditis As a Trigger for the Expression of Biventricular Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy in Desmosomal Gene Mutation

Arrhythmogenic-cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited heart disease with right, left, or biventricular (BVACM) involvement based on EKG, imaging, family history, and genetic testing. We present a 64-year-old woman with prior myocarditis and diagnosis of BVACM 29 years later. We propose myocarditis as a promoter of gene expression of plakophilin-2 mutation.
