Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a genetic cardiac disease characterized by fibrofatty infiltration of the myocardium, life-threatening arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. Newfoundland and Labrador is home to a substantial founder population with an autosomal dominant mut...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a genetic cardiac disease characterized by fibrofatty infiltration of the myocardium, life-threatening arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death.
