Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) encompasses a group of conditions characterized by right ventricular fibrofatty infiltration, with a predominant arrhythmic presentation. First described in the late 1970s and early 1980s, it is now frequently recognized to have biventricular involvement.

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Arrhythmogenic disorders of genetic origin include structural cardiomyopathies and inherited arrhythmic syndromes.1 Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is listed among the former, because it is characterized by structural and functional abnormalities of the right ventricle (RV), ranging from regional wall motion abnormalities and ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is a rare inherited heart-muscle disease that is a cause of sudden death in young people and athletes. Causative mutations in genes encoding desmosomal proteins have been identified and the disease is nowadays regarded as a genetically determined myocardial dystrophy.

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) is a disease characterized by fatty replacement of the right ventricular muscle (1). The residual myocardial fibers are often embedded in fibrous tissue. This substrate is conducive to right ventricular re-entrant arrhythmias. Initially this condition was called dysplasia because it was

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy [PDF]
AbstractArrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a progressive cardiomyopathy characterized by fibrofatty infiltration of the myocardium, ventricular arrhythmias, sudden death, and heart failure. ARVC may be an important cause of syncope, sudden death, ventricular arrhythmias, and/or wall motion abnormalities, especially in the young ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia [PDF]
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D) is a heart muscle disease clinically characterized by life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. Its prevalence has been estimated to vary from 1:2,500 to 1:5,000. ARVC/D is a major cause of sudden death in the young and athletes.

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular (RV) cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a cardiomyopathy characterized pathologically by fibrofatty replacement primarily of the RV and clinically by life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias in apparently healthy young people. The prevalence of the disease has been estimated at 1 in 5,000 individuals, although this estimate will ...

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is commonly an autosomal-dominant inherited cardiomyopathy characterized by fibrofatty infiltration of the right ventricle and sometimes, also, the left ventricular myocardium. The clinical presentation involves palpitations, syncope, chest pain, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death.
