Objectives:
The primary objective of this study is risk stratification of patients with arrhythmic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC).
Background:
There is a need to identify those who need an automatic implantable defibrillator (ICD) to prevent sudden death.
Methods:
This is an analysis of 88 patients with ARVC from three centers who were not treated with an ICD.
Results:
Risk factors for subsequent arrhythmic deaths were pre-enrollment sustained or nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) and decreased left ventricular function.
Conclusion:
These factors serve as proposed guidelines for implantation of an ICD in patients with ARVC to prevent sudden death.
