Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in children
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), also known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD), is characterized by arrhythmias and right ventricular-specific lesions. There is no unified name for this disease, which is called "parchment heart", isolated right ventricular cardiomyopathy, right ventricular dilated cardiomyopathy, arrhythmic right ventricular disease, right ventricular dysplasia, and arrhythmic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. The International Federation of Societies of Cardiology (ISFC) Myopericardial Disease Task Force calls it arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.
