    Abstract:
    In 57 patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, 34 males 23 females, aged 5 to 60 average 27.93 years, arrhythmias recorded during the whole clinical history have been compared with the 24 hours ECG ambulatory monitoring data, age and anatomic extension of the disease. In 77.77% of patients with history of sustained ventricular tachycardia Holter monitoring showed Lown class less than or equal to 3 arrhythmias, in 75% of patients with ventricular fibrillation Holter monitoring showed no arrhythmias. 55.88% of patients whose Holter monitoring documented Lown class less than or equal to 3 arrhythmias had more severe arrhythmias in their history. There is not a close relation between Holter data and arrhythmias that occurred during the whole history; however, Holter monitoring is a useful tool in evaluating risk when it shows complex arrhythmias.
