Overview
Once hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is excluded, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a common cause of sudden cardiac death among competitive athletes.
Screening
Family screening
All first degree family members of the affected individual should be screened for ARVD. This is used to establish the pattern of inheritance. Screening should begin during the teenage years unless otherwise indicated. Screening tests include:
- Echocardiogram
- EKG
- Signal averaged EKG
- Holter monitoring
- Cardiac MRI
- Exercise stress test
