Almost one-third of patients with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) experience a diagnostic delay >2 years. These patients are mostly affected by an ACM phenotype with left ventricular (LV) involvement and present worse mortality compared with those without diagnostic delay.Diagnostic delay is common in patients with ACM, particularly in the presence of LV involvement, and is associated with greater mortality at follow-up.The most common initial (mis)diagnoses were dilated cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, and idiopathic ventricular arrhythmia. Clinical suspicion and increasing use of tissue characterization by cardiac magnetic resonance in these specific clinical settings are of key importance to identify ACM in a timely fashion.
