Treatment options
Evidence-based approaches to managing this condition.
First-line treatments
Disease management and monitoring
Active treatment with regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is recommended.
Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD)
Surgical placement of an ICD device to continuously monitor heart rhythm and deliver electric shocks when dangerous arrhythmias are detected, preventing sudden cardiac death.
Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy
Pharmacological management using antiarrhythmic medications to control irregular heartbeats and reduce the frequency of ventricular arrhythmias associated with ARVD.
Additional treatment options
Exercise Restriction Program
Structured program advising patients to avoid competitive sports and high-intensity exercise, which can accelerate disease progression and trigger life-threatening arrhythmias.
lifestyleCatheter Ablation
Minimally invasive procedure using radiofrequency energy to destroy abnormal heart tissue responsible for generating dangerous arrhythmias, potentially reducing arrhythmia burden.
procedureRegular Cardiac Surveillance
Ongoing monitoring through periodic ECGs, echocardiograms, Holter monitoring, and cardiac MRI to track disease progression and adjust treatment strategies accordingly.
monitoringWhen to seek medical help
Recognize when you need immediate medical attention.
See a doctor within 24 hours
Moderate to severe symptoms that may indicate worsening of this condition. Prompt medical evaluation is recommended.
Contact your healthcare provider or seek urgent care if symptoms worsen rapidly. Go to the emergency department for life-threatening symptoms.
