Video Summary:
In Module 5, Dr. Collins and Sarah explore Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC). We deconstruct how desmosomal mutations lead to the replacement of the right ventricular wall with fat and fibrous tissue. Learn how to identify the classic Epsilon wave on an EKG and why this condition is a leading cause of ventricular arrhythmias in young patients. We also cover the high-yield syndromic association: Naxos Disease.
