Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is characterized by fatty/fibrofatty tissue infiltration in the right ventricular free wall, that is replacing normal cardiac tissue. Biventricular and left ventricular involvement are increasingly recognized in this condition, typically affecting individuals between the second and fourth decades of life. Early recognition is crucial to help patients avoid activities exacerbating this condition, with common symptoms including palpitations, syncope, ventricular tachycardia, and sudden cardiac death in severe cases.In this activity, participants explore the diagnostic criteria, clinical presentation, common diagnostic modalities, and therapeutic interventions available for ARVC. Clinicians gain insight into risk stratification for antiarrhythmic and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator placement, with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging emerging as the preferred imaging modality. Interprofessional health care team communication strategies are emphasized. By understanding these aspects, learners enhance their competence in accurately diagnosing and managing ARVC, facilitating effective interprofessional collaboration. This collaboration ensures comprehensive patient care, optimizing outcomes for individuals with ARVC.
