Abstract
The primary objective of this study is risk stratification of patients with arrhythmic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). There is a need to identify those who need an automatic implantable defibrillator (ICD) to prevent sudden death. This is an analysis of 88 patients with ARVC from three centers who were not treated with an ICD. Risk factors for subsequent arrhythmic deaths were pre-enrollment sustained or nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) and decreased left ventricular function. These factors serve as proposed guidelines for implantation of an ICD in patients with ARVC to prevent sudden death.
