dc.description.abstractArrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy / dysplasia (ARVC/D) is a genetic disease causing fibro-fatty replacement of the right ventricular myocardium, resulting in cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death. Part of the diagnostic work up for these patients includes a biopsy of the endocardium which has historically been difficult to interpret and of limited value in the early stages of disease. This study will focus on novel immunohistochemical stains of the cardiac desmosomes. These will be used to try to aid in the early diagnosis of ARVC.en_ZA
