Three members affected (one female and two males)

33 normal family members screened

Dilated RV (two patients), impaired LV function (one patient) + Atrial arrhythmias Heart failure first, then arrhythmia and heart block; postmortem biopsy carried out for proband showed RV hypertrophy with fiber attenuation, fibrosis of replacement type, and fatty infiltration
