Arrhythmogenic RV Cardiomyopathy/Dysplasia covers all aspects of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia, a recent cardiomyopathy which represents a very high risk of sudden death in the young and in athletes.

Arrhythmogenic RV Cardiomyopathy/Dysplasia has a monograph that presents the results of 5-year research program on ARVC/D supported by grants of both the European Commission and the NIH.
