Abstract

Objectives The aims of this study were to determine the clinical characteristics and outcomes of pediatric-onset arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) and to compare these with those of adult-onset ARVD/C. Background Improved early detection and increased awareness of ARVD/C have led to a growing group of pediatric patients seeking management recommendations. Prior studies have mainly included adults with ARVD/C; however, clinical features and outcomes may differ in pediatric subjects. Methods Among 502 subjects fulfilling task force criteria for ARVD/C, we identified 75 (15%) with pediatric-onset disease (diagnosis at
