Clinical Characteristics of Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy</h2><div id="arvd.Clinical_Description"><h3>Clinical Description</h3><p>Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a primary cardiomyopathy that is often diagnosed after an individual presents with arrhythmia findings. Presenting manifestations include heart palpitations, syncope, or even sudden death. ARVC typically presents in adults (mean age of first presentation in one large cohort study was 36 &#x000b1; 14 years [<a class="bibr" href="#arvd.REF.groeneweg.2015.437" rid="arvd.REF.groeneweg.2015.437">Groeneweg et al 2015</a>]), although it may less commonly be seen in children, most often during the late second decade.</p><p>ARVC typically affects the right ventricular apex, the base of the right ventricle, and the right ventricle outflow tract. The arrhythmias in ARVC most frequently arise from the right ventricle and have left bundle branch block morphology. The disease is progressive and is characterized by fibrofatty replacement of the myocardium. Pathology in ARVC may also extend to involve the left ventricle, resulting in regional left ventricular dysfunction.</p><p>Note: There is a movement within clinical cardiology to merge ARVC with other arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies because the left ventricle can become involved, or even become predominantly involved, especially in individuals with <i>DSP</i> pathogenic variants; left ventricular involvement has also been reported in individuals with variants in genes encoding other desmosomal proteins (e.g., <i>DSC2</i>) that were previously associated with ARVC. The 2010 Task Force Criteria (see <a href="#arvd.Diagnosis">Diagnosis</a>) are still used to establish a clinical diagnosis of ARVC [<a class="bibr" href="#arvd.REF.marcus.2010.806" rid="arvd.REF.marcus.2010.806">Marcus et al 2010</a>], and these criteria do not incorporate other arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies, leading to potential underdiagnosis. An international expert panel convened to reevaluate the diagnostic approach to arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies and developed new criteria, the Padua Criteria [<a class="bibr" href="#arvd.REF.corrado.2020.106" rid="arvd.REF.corrado.2020.106">Corrado et al 2020</a>]. There are ongoing studies to evaluate the proposed Padua Criteria in larger cohorts. Readers should be aware of the potential overlap/differentiation between ARVC and other arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies.</p><p><b>Progression.</b> The four described stages of ARVC are the following [<a class="bibr" href="#arvd.REF.te_riele.2021.750916" rid="arvd.REF.te_riele.2021.750916">Te Riele et al 2021</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#arvd.REF.wallace.2021.26" rid="arvd.REF.wallace.2021.26">Wallace &#x00026; Calkins 2021</a>]:</p><dl class="temp-labeled-list"><dl class="bkr_refwrap"><dt>1.</dt><dd><p class="no_top_margin">The concealed phase is the earliest phase and is without electrical, structural, or histologic changes as typically seen in ARVC.

Arrhythmias in ARVC include ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation has also been described in ARVC. One recent study identified atrial fibrillation occurring in one in seven individuals with a diagnosis of definite ARVC (by 2010 Task Force Criteria), with atrial fibrillation onset at a median age of 51 years [<a class="bibr" href="#arvd.REF.baturova.2020.39" rid="arvd.REF.baturova.2020.39">Baturova et al 2020</a>]. The risk of atrial fibrillation increases with severity of the ARVC phenotype compared to individuals who have an ARVC-related pathogenic variant but do not have clinical manifestations of ARVC (and thus do not meet 2010 Task Force Criteria).</p><p><b>Prognosis.</b> Two long-term studies of individuals with ARVC suggested that survival was greater than 72% at six years following diagnosis. In individuals with ARVC, cardiac mortality and need for transplant are less than 5% [<a class="bibr" href="#arvd.REF.bhonsale.2015.847" rid="arvd.REF.bhonsale.2015.847">Bhonsale et al 2015</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#arvd.REF.groeneweg.2015.437" rid="arvd.REF.groeneweg.2015.437">Groeneweg et al 2015</a>].
