Abstract
We report the case of an adolescent boy with exertional syncope and ventricular tachycardia caused by arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. Diagnosis was determined by transthoracic echocardiography and definitive management with an automatic internal cardiac defibrillator. Emergency physicians must be aware of this serious but treatable cause of adolescent exertional syncope.
