Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a rare cardiac disease, characterized by the progressive replacement of myocardial tissue with fibrous and fatty deposits. It can involve both the right and left ventricles. It is associated with the development of life-threatening arrhythmias and culminates in sudden cardiac death. Electrocardiography (ECG) has emerged as a pivotal tool, offering diagnostic insights and prognostic information. The specific ECG abnormalities observed in ACM not only contribute to early detection but also hold the key to the prediction of the likelihood of severe complications. The recognition of these nuanced ECG manifestations has become imperative for clinicians as it guides them in the formulation of tailored therapeutic strategies that address both the present symptoms and the potential future risks.

Abstract
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a rare cardiac disease, characterized by the progressive replacement of myocardial tissue with fibrous and fatty deposits. It can involve both the right and left ventricles. It is associated with the development of life-threatening arrhythmias and culminates in sudden cardiac death. Electrocardiography (ECG) has emerged as a pivotal tool, offering diagnostic insights and prognostic information. The specific ECG abnormalities observed in ACM not only contribute to early detection but also hold the key to the prediction of the likelihood of severe complications. The recognition of these nuanced ECG manifestations has become imperative for clinicians as it guides them in the formulation of tailored therapeutic strategies that address both the present symptoms and the potential future risks.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
