1 Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a disease affecting the right, and/or the left ventricle, and commonly presents as an electrical disorder with ventricular arrhythmias and increased risk of sudden cardiac death. 2 ARVC cannot be diagnosed by a single test, and is a clinical diagnosis supported by electrophysiologic, morpho-functional, genetic, and histological data based on the 2010 Task Force 2 criteria. 3 Familial involvement occurs in more than 50%, and referral to a specialist centre with access to genotyping is appropriate in selected cases. 4 Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy carries risk, and appropriate thresholds should apply before offering this, particularly in younger individuals. Clinical Characteristics Definition and Prevalence Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited myocardial disorder characterised by apoptotic loss of cardiomyocytes and their replacement with fibrofatty tissue [1]. Although the right ventricle (RV) is preferentially and predominantly affected, the left ventricle (LV) is
