Learn About Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy

View Main Condition: Cardiomyopathy

What is the definition of Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy?
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited heart condition in which the muscle of the right ventricle of the heart is replaced by fat and/or scar tissue. The condition often leads to the right ventricle losing the ability to pump blood. Individuals with ARVC often develop abnormal heart rhythms known as arrhythmias. Other symptoms of ARVC include chest palpitations, dizziness, fainting and shortness of breath. ARVC is caused by genetic changes in genes that instruct proteins to link one heart cell to the next. There is also some evidence that ARVC could be caused by an infection of the heart muscle.
What are the alternative names for Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy?
  • Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy

What are the latest Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy Clinical Trials?
Analysis of Distribution of Cell-cell Junction Proteins in Buccal Smear Samples From Patients With Arrhythmic Disorders and Family Members at Risk as a Means for Diagnosis

Summary: Every week in the UK, 12 apparently healthy and fit individuals under the age of 35 die suddenly, a tragic event known as sudden cardiac death (SCD). The investigators have shown that heritable cardiac disorders affect the distribution of proteins at the cardiac cell-cell junctions, the areas where cardiac cells are mechanically and electrically coupled. This knowledge has helped the investigators...

Pediatric Cardiomyopathy Mutation Analysis

Summary: The goal of this protocol is to obtain information from individuals with cardiomyopathy and from their families in order to elucidate the molecular genetics of this disorder. This will provide the basis for future genetic counseling as well as contribute to elucidating the biology of normal and abnormal cardiac function.
