Abstract

Noninvasive imaging is crucial for diagnosing and managing arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. Despite advanced multimodality imaging tools, challenges persist in differentiating it from other arrhythmogenic diseases (eg, cardiac sarcoidosis). We present a case of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy with an FLNC variant of uncertain significance exhibiting a phenocopy of cardiac sarcoidosis.

Keywords: FLNC gene; arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy; atrial flutter; cardiac sarcoidosis; epsilon wave.
