Abstract

Although hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathyremains the most common cause of sudden cardiac death in young people, rarer causes, such as arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD), are now being increasingly recognized to lead to sudden cardiac death in the younger population. Recent advances in the understanding of the genetic inheritance, etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment options of ARVD have prompted a lot of research in this form of right ventricular cardiomyopathy. The purpose of this report is to review the etiopathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment modalities for ARVD, and recent advances in the understanding of this disease entity.
