Multidisciplinary Study of Right Ventricular Dysplasia

Completed

Conditions studied: Heart Diseases, Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia

In brief

The purpose of this study is to investigate the cardiac, clinical, and genetic aspects of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD), a progressive disorder that predominantly affects the right side of the heart and causes ventricular arrhythmias.
