🫀 ARVC : Don’t Miss the Warning Signs! 🫀 🔹 Rare but Deadly: Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) – an inherited condition affecting 1/1000 to 1/5000 people. ⚡ Sudden Cardiac Death Risk: 4-22% of cases in young athletes; up to 90% with VT or PVCs. ❤️‍🔥 Dangerous Arrhythmias: Watch for risky heart rhythms, especially in active individuals. 📉 ECG Clues: Look for Epsilon waves and T-wave inversions (V1-V3). 🧲 MRI Insights: Detect fibrofatty replacement in the right ventricle.

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited heart muscle disease primarily affecting the right ventricle (RV). The hallmark feature is the gradual replacement of RV myocardium with fibrofatty tissue. Initially labeled as “dysplasia,” ARVC is now recognized as a genetically determined “cardiomyopathy.” Its estimated prevalence ranges from 1 in 2000 to 1 in 5000, with familial cases accounting for 30–50%. Clinical manifestations typically emerge between the second and th
