This case suggests that the absence of signs and symptoms of heart failure (HF) at a first evaluation plays a major role to predict maternal and foetal outcome in ARVC. Our experience is consistent with the evidence that indicates a favourable outcome in asymptomatic patients treated with optimal medical therapy during pregnancy. In our case, despite no major HF or arrhythmic complications during pregnancy, delivery, and puerperium, we observed an arrhythmic disease progression more likely independent from pregnancy, leading to ICD implantation.
