Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy and Athletes : A Dangerous Relationship

Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a disease characterized by a progressive replacement of myocardium by fibro-adipose material, predisposing to ventricular arrhythmias (VA) and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Its prevalence is estimated at 1:2000 to 1:5000, with a higher incidence in males, and clinical onset is usually between the 2nd and 4th decade of life. The prevalence of ACM in SCD victims is relatively high, making it one of the most common etiologies in young patients with SCD, especially if they are athletes. Cardiac events occur more frequently in individuals with ACM who participate in competitive sports and/or high-intensity training. In effect, exercise activity can worsen RV function in cases of hereditary ACM. Estimating the incidence of SCD caused by ACM in athletes remains challenging, being reported frequency ranging from 3% to 20%. Here, we review the potential implications of exercising on the clinical course of the classical genetic form of ACM, as well as the diagnostic tools, risk stratification, and the different therapeutic tools available for managing ACM.
