In an emergency, treatment for ventricular tachycardia may include: CPR electrical defibrillation electric shock antiarrhythmic medication Long-term treatment may include oral antiarrhythmic medication. [healthline.com]

Management and treatment In the presence of two viable ventricles, biventricular repair is the optimal treatment for DORV and it is quite safely achieved in the simple forms (DORV-VSD type, DORV-Fallot type and DORV-TGA type). [orpha.net]

Prognosis Without treatment, prognosis is poor due to severe cyanosis, congestive heart failure or pulmonary hypertension. With biventricular repair, patients have, on average, a normal life expectancy. [orpha.net]

Prognosis Prognosis depends strongly on the underlying cause of the acute right heart syndrome. In pulmonary embolism, prognosis is quite good if the patient can be stabilized hemodynamically, but very poor ( 50% mortality) if not. [clinicaladvisor.com]

The overall prognosis in ARVD is not clear. [geneticheartdisease.org]

Humphrey Abstract We report a case of transient right ventricular dysfunction associated with prolonged cardiac tamponade, an unusual complication of uncertain etiology. [ajol.info]

In the remaining cases, it is believed to be due to an acquired etiology (e.g. virus infection) or to unidentified inheritance. The genes identified to date include the ryanodine receptor 2 (RYR2) and desmoplakin. [bcm.edu]

Etiology DORV results from an error in formation of the cono-truncus, which is the primary outlet of the heart during embryonic development. The cono-truncal anomalies result in neural crest and second heart field dysfunction. [orpha.net]

Acute lung edema was diagnosed in 19 (7.3 %) patients and ischemic etiology as the cause of heart failure was discovered in 198 (76.5 %) patients. [cardiovascularultrasound.biomedcentral.com]

(Etiology) Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy is caused by mutations in at least 5 genes involved in the formation and function of desmosomes. [dovemed.com]
