Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Arrhythmogenic right-ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a genetically determined disorder, mostly caused by mutations in genes encoding desmosomal proteins. We evaluated phenotype/genotype characteristics to predict the risk for the first major arrhythmic event in desmosomal-mutation-associated ARVC families. METHODS AND RESULTS: A cohort of 105 desmosomal-mutation carriers belonging to 39 consecutive...
