  • Description: Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC) is a genetic disease of the myocardium characterized by fibro-fatty replacement of the apoptotic myocardium. It primarily affects the right ventricle, however in advanced stages of the disease the left ventricle can also be significantly affected. AC is a challenging diagnosis, especially in the early stages of the disease, and should be considered in all patients presenting with palpitations, syncope or sudden cardiac death when other, more common causes of these symptoms/signs are excluded. In patients with suspected AC, evaluation according to the current Task Force Criteria should be applied to achieve optimal diagnostic yield. The main therapeutic concern in AC patients is the prevention of SCD, and thus all patients with established diagnosis have to be evaluated for potential ICD implantation, which is indicated in the majority of symptomatic patients. In this narrative review we aim to outline current knowledge on the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment strategies of AC.
