Abstract excerpt
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) is frequently associated with desmosomal mutations. However, nondesmosomal mutations may be involved. The aim of this study was to assess the contribution of a phospholamban (PLN) gene mutation to ARVD/C diagnosis according to the revised 2010 task force criteria (TFC). In 142 Dutch patients (106 men, mean age 51 ± 13 years) with proven ARVD/C...
