Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a heart condition that primarily affects the right ventricle, leading to abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) and an increased risk of sudden cardiac events. In ARVC, the heart muscle is gradually replaced by fatty or fibrous tissue, which disrupts its ability to pump blood effectively and can lead to serious complications. It is often inherited and may show symptoms like palpitations, fainting, or even heart failure. Early diagnosis and management are crucial for reducing risks and improving quality of life for those affected.
