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. | 410 , 411 | |
In patients with ARVC, advice to not perform high-level or endurance exercise should be given. | 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. | 410 , 411 | |
In patients with confirmed ARVC, regular Holter monitoring and imaging for assessment of ventricular function may be useful. | 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. | 414 |
