Learn About Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy

View Main Condition: Cardiomyopathy

What is the definition of Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy?
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited heart condition in which the muscle of the right ventricle of the heart is replaced by fat and/or scar tissue. The condition often leads to the right ventricle losing the ability to pump blood. Individuals with ARVC often develop abnormal heart rhythms known as arrhythmias. Other symptoms of ARVC include chest palpitations, dizziness, fainting and shortness of breath. ARVC is caused by genetic changes in genes that instruct proteins to link one heart cell to the next. There is also some evidence that ARVC could be caused by an infection of the heart muscle.
What are the alternative names for Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy?
  • Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
  • ARVC
  • ARVD
  • Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia

What are the latest Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy Clinical Trials?
Pediatric Cardiomyopathy Mutation Analysis

Summary: The goal of this protocol is to obtain information from individuals with cardiomyopathy and from their families in order to elucidate the molecular genetics of this disorder. This will provide the basis for future genetic counseling as well as contribute to elucidating the biology of normal and abnormal cardiac function.
