ABSTRACT
Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy (AC), an inherited cardiac disorder characterized by myocardial fibrofatty replacement, carries a significant risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to ventricular arrhythmias. A comprehensive multimodality imaging approach, including echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), and cardiac computed tomography (CCT), allows for accurate diagnosis, effective risk stratification, vigilant monitoring, and appropriate intervention, leading to improved patient outcomes and the prevention of SCD. Echocardiography is primary tool ventricular morphology and function assessment, CMR provides detailed visualization, CCT is essential in early stages for excluding congenital anomalies and coronary artery disease. Echocardiography is preferred for follow-up, with CMR capturing changes over time. The strategic use of these imaging methods aids in confirming AC, differentiating it from other conditions, tracking its progression, managing complications, and addressing end-stage scenarios.
