Background Regular intensive physical activity is associated with non-pathological changes in cardiac morphology. Differential diagnosis with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) ...

Research in Newfoundland led to a treatment that keeps Chad Pelley's heart from stopping, but the genetic variant he carries ...

Diagnosis is often made using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, along with specific diagnostic criteria developed by the ARVC/D task force in 2010; these criteria are outlined below.

The first-line therapy for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is considered to be β-blockers, which are generally well tolerated. However, findings from the Multidisciplinary ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) or arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a genetic condition (autosomal dominant) affecting the desmosomes of the cardiac myocyte.

“It's a specific gene, which can lead to a condition called Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia, ARVC," said Shah. "And that can increase the chances of unexpected sudden cardiac arrest ...

The ARVC heart cells contract irregularly ... A blood test was developed to find if you had it and now you can put an implanted cardiac defibrillator to keep you safe. That's enough.
