Abstract:Introduction:
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and Brugada syndrome (BS) are inherited disorders that predispose individuals to arrhythmic sudden cardiac death. ARVC is a heart muscle disorder of intercellular junctions resulting from mutations of desmosomal (DS) genes, often leading to heart failure, and monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT). BS is a channelopathy due to sodium channel mutations, usually presenting as polymorphic VT without cardiomyopathy.
