Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited cardiac muscle disorder. Damaged myocardium is replaced by scar tissue and fat. ARVC was discovered in the late 1970s on postmortem examinations of young athletes who had died suddenly. This disease has since been observed to affect the left ventricle as well.

Key Words: arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy • electrocardiogram • cardiac death • echocardiography • sonography
