Risk stratification of ventricular arrhythmias in ARVC Class References
In patients with ARVC, history of aborted sudden death, sustained ventricular arrhythmias, and severe right and/or left ventricular dysfunction identify a high risk of cardiac death. graphic file with name euaa065ilf1.jpg 410 , 411
In patients with ARVC, advice to not perform high-level or endurance exercise should be given. graphic file with name euaa065ilf1.jpg 412 , 413
Clinical factors including age, male sex, unexplained syncope, non-sustained VT, number of anterior precordial leads with T wave inversion, and genetic mutation status can be used for prognostic stratification of patients with ARVC. graphic file with name euaa065ilf2.jpg 410 , 411
In patients with confirmed ARVC, regular Holter monitoring and imaging for assessment of ventricular function may be useful. graphic file with name euaa065ilf2.jpg 412 , 413
A detailed history of exercise intensity and duration may be helpful in patients with ARVC as exercise level may represent a modified risk factor of adverse cardiovascular events and disease progression. graphic file with name euaa065ilf2.jpg 414
