In arthythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), a rare hereditary disorder, the right ventricle's heart muscle gradually gives way to fatty and fibrous tissue. Symptoms of ARVC are palpitations, fainting and Cardiac arrest. Treatment is based on life style changes. Medications, Cardiac rehabilitation and in some cases procedures namely angioplasty or heart surgery. Finally it is concluded that myocardial disease encompass range of conditions influencing the heart muscle, with causes ranging from genetic factors to life style choices.
