Patient Preferences in Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) Screening and ICD Implantation: Canadian ARVC Registry Substudy
Patients undergoing ARVC screening reported greater decisional conflict and lower benefit and risk clarity compared to patients diagnosed with ARVC who were offered an ICD. Screen group patients were more restrictive in their exercise. Understanding patient preferences and needs during ARVC screening and ICD candidacy can assist in improving decision support with patients and families.
