Description:
This course uses a case-based approach to illustrate the key clinical, pathological, and genetic features of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies, the most arrhythmogenic form of human heart disease that is often fatal at a young age.
Topics:
• Description of clinical disease and molecular basis.
• Gross Pathology of ARVC.
• Microscopic Pathology of ARVC.
• Genetic mutations associated WITH ARVC.
• Case descriptions of Classical ARVC.
• Case descriptions of severe ARVC with Biventricular Dysfunction
• Naxos disease.
Objectives:
• Understand the major clinical, pathological and genetic features of the arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies.
• Recognize that biventricular disease is common.
• Recognize that subepicardial (as opposed to subendocardial) injury is a unique feature of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies.
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
