Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a progressive genetic disease of the myocardium characterized by loss of myocardial cells and replacement by fibrofatty tissue in the right and/or left ventricle (RV/LV), clinically manifested by syncope, palpitations, heart failure, or sudden cardiac death (SCD). We presented a case where the patient suffered...

Background Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), or more recently known as arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), is an heritable disorder of the myocardium characterized by progressive fibrofatty replacement the heart muscle and risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). We report a case study to demonstrate th...
