What is Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC)?
Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a type of cardiomyopathy that predominantly affects the right ventricle of the heart. This genetic disorder leads to the replacement of normal heart muscle with fatty and fibrous tissue, which can cause arrhythmias. Although it is more commonly diagnosed in adults, ARVC can also present in pediatric patients.
