Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D) is a heart muscle disorder associated with the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias arising from the right ventricle in the presence of subtle or diffuse morphological changes [1-4]. Histologically the condition is characterized by myocyte loss with fatty or fibrofatty replacement [5]. The reclassification of cardiomyopathies by the World Health Organization/International Society and Federation of Cardiology Task Force on the Definition and Classification of Cardiomyopathies in 1995 defined ARVC/D as being "characterized by progressive fibrofatty replacement of the right ventricular myocardium, initially with typical regional, and later global, right and some left ventricular involvement, with relative sparing of the septum. Familial disease is common, with autosomal dominant inheritance and incomplete penetrance; a recessive form is described. Presentation with arrhythmias and sudden death is common, particularly in the young" [6]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
