This paper reports a case of right ventricular dysplasia, in which the patient presented with atrioventricular block and was followed for more than 8 years under left ventricular epicardial pacing. Five years after first epicardial pacemaker implantation, loss of capture occurred. Replacement of the epicardial leads was performed.
