Imaging of Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathies
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy is a genetic heart disease where normal heart muscle is replaced by fatty and fibrous tissue, increasing the risk of dangerous heart rhythms and death. Newer diagnostic criteria include advanced cardiac MRI findings, improving detection. Treatment includes implanted defibrillators, procedures to control abnormal rhythms, and avoiding intense sports.
