Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D) is a genetic disease predominantly caused by desmosomal gene mutations that account for only ~50% of cases. Ryanodine receptor 2 (RYR2) gene mutations usually cause catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia but have been associated with a peculiar phenotype named ARVC2. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine the prevalence and...
