Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a rare form of cardiomyopathy characterised by thinning of the right ventricular wall, which predisposes to arrhythmias. An epsilon wave, a wave at the end of a widened QRS complex, is typical. Antiarrhythmic treatment and ICD implantation may be used.
