Data represented as mean ± SD.

P-value from the Student’s t-test.

AC, arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy; LS, longitudinal strain; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVGLS, left ventricular global longitudinal strain; PSAX, parasternal short-axis view; RV, right ventricular; RVFAC, right ventricular fractional area change; RVOT, right ventricular outflow tract.
