Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy/dysplasia

This book covers all aspects (biological, pathological, genetics, clinical and therapeutical) of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia, a recent cardiomyopathy which represents a very high risk of sudden death in the young and in the athletes. The monograph is gathering the results of 5-year research program on ARVC/D supported by grants of both the European Commission and the NIH, which allowed the discovery of 5 disease-causing genes, thus opening new avenues for the early identification of affected patients and for sudden death prevention. A panel of top scientists, both European and Americans, contribute to the monograph, which will be an essential reference for professionals and residents in cardiology, radiology, human genetics, and sport medicine.Thiene, Gaetano is the author of 'Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy/dysplasia ', published 2007 under ISBN 9788847004894 and ISBN 8847004896.
