Medications, Lifestyle, and Life-Saving Devices

ARVC is a genetic heart condition where the right ventricle’s muscle is gradually replaced by scar or fatty tissue, which can interfere with normal electrical signals. This disruption may lead to irregular heart rhythms, fainting, or, in severe cases, sudden cardiac arrest. Early diagnosis and careful management are crucial to maintaining heart health and reducing risk.

Treatment & Management:

• Limiting intense or competitive physical activity
• Medications to control arrhythmias
• ICD placement for patients at higher risk of sudden cardiac arrest
• Regular follow-up testing to monitor heart function
