Abstract

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is an inherited desmosomal myopathy characterized by progressive fibrofatty replacement of the myocardium, right ventricular enlargement, and malignant ventricular arrhythmias. Ventricular tachycardias is one of the most common initial presentation of ARVC. This manuscript addresses invasive VT ablation options for the managmenet of VT in patients with ARVC.

Keywords: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/ cardiomyopathy; Catheter ablation; Epicardial ablation; Ventricular tachycardia; Ventricular tachycardia recurrence.
