Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D) is an inheritable heart muscle disease that predominantly affects the right ventricle (RV) and predisposes to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). 1–17 In the last three decades, there have been a significant number of studies defining the pathogenesis, genetic aspects, and clinical manifestations of the disease (See ‘Etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and natural history’as Supplementary material online). In 1994 and 2010, an International Task Force (ITF) document proposed guidelines for the standardized diagnosis of ARVC/D based on electrocardiographic (ECG), arrhythmic, morphological, histopathological, and clinico-genetic factors. 18, 19The growing knowledge regarding arrhythmic outcome, risk factors, and life-saving therapeutic interventions, make it particularly timely to critically address and place into perspective the issues relevant to the clinical management of ARVC/D patients. The present ITF consensus statement is a comprehensive overview of currently used risk stratification algorithms and approaches to therapy, either pharmacological or non-pharmacological, which often poses a clinical challenge to cardiovascular specialists and other practitioners, particularly those infrequently engaged in the management of ARVC/D.
