We reported a case of a young adult male aged 18 years admitted in our institution for syncope during a basketball match. No previous symptoms were reported. Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed T-wave inversion in the anterior leads and an incomplete right bundle branch block. Surprisingly, a complete echocardiographic evaluation demonstrated the presence of severe right ventricular enlargement with significant wall motion abnormalities, apical aneurysm and reduced systolic function. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance was pathognomonic for a fibro-fatty replacement of both ventricles. We decided for a subcutaneous defibrillator implantation and, after inducing a ventricular fibrillation to test the device status, epsilon wave appeared on the ECG. This clinical scenario depicted an advanced arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy at its first clinical manifestation.
