Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) encompasses a spectrum of presentations including ventricular tachycardia, sudden cardiac death and heart failure.

The case highlights the challenging management of ARVD despite over two decades of research and the resurgent interest in ventricular disarticulation.
