Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy is an inherited heart muscle disorder, predisposing to sudden cardiac death, particularly in young patients and athletes. Pathological features include loss of myocytes and fibrofatty replacement of right ventricular myocardium; biventricular involvement is often observed.

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC) is a genetic disease of the myocardium characterized by fibro-fatty replacement of the apoptotic myocardium. It primarily affects the right ventricle, however in advanced stages of the disease the left ventricle can ...

Natural History of Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC) is a heart muscle disease characterized by a scarred ventricular myocardium with a distinctive propensity to ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) and sudden cardiac death, especially in young athletes. Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) represents the best characterized variant of AC, with a peculiar ...

Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Electrocardiography (ECG) is a critically important modality in the investigation of patients with cardiomyopathy of any kind, including arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies. In some specific arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies, the ECG is to some extent diagnostic, e.g.

Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC) is a genetic disorder characterized by high risk of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death, and progressive heart failure. Currently, there is evidence that AC includes a spectrum of cardiomyopathy phenotypes, ranging from the classical form of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy ...

Multimodality imaging in arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, as it has been recently redefined, is characterized by progressive myocyte loss with fibrosis and fat infiltration of the myocardium, which finally leads to a broad clinical spectrum ranging from heart failure symptoms to ...

Pregnancy in arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy [PDF]
AbstractArrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC) is a rare heart muscle disease with a genetic background and autosomal dominant mode of transmission. The clinical manifestation is characterized by ventricular arrhythmias (VA), heart failure (HF) and the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD).

Metabolic Signature of Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a genetic-based cardiac disease accompanied by severe ventricular arrhythmias and a progressive substitution of the myocardium with fibro-fatty tissue. ACM is often associated with sudden cardiac death. Due to the reduced penetrance and variable expressivity, the presence of a genetic defect is not conclusive ...

Scarring/arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy
Abstract The designation of ‘arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy’ reflects the evolving concept of a heart muscle disease affecting not only the right ventricle (ARVC) but also the left ventricle (LV), with phenotypic variants characterized by a biventricular (BIV) or predominant LV involvement (ALVC).
