Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: This study sought to determine how exercise influences penetrance of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) among patients with desmosomal mutations. BACKGROUND: Although animal models and anecdotal evidence suggest that exercise is a risk factor for ARVD/C, there have been no systematic human studies. METHODS: Eighty-seven carriers (46 male; mean age, 44 ± 18 years) were...
