Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy predominantly affected the young and male population. All the patients had a potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmia. Biventricular disease by echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance occurred in 69.2% and 100% of the cases, respectively. The therapeutic strategies used were antiarrhythmic medical treatment, placement of an ICD as secondary prevention, ablation, and heart transplantation. To date, 84.6% of patients survive.
