Does the ARVC risk model improve arrhythmic risk prediction for primary prevention of SCD compared to other published decision algorithms in patients with ARVC?
The ARVC risk calculator is a valid tool that outperforms other algorithms for predicting sudden cardiac death risk and guiding ICD implantation in ARVC patients.
Using a large independent cohort of patients, this study shows that the ARVC risk model provides good prognostic information and outperforms other published decision algorithms for ICD use. These findings support the use of the model to facilitate shared decision making regarding ICD implantation in the primary prevention of SCD in ARVC.
