Introduction: ARVC (Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy) is a heritable rare disease of the heart muscle, primarily affecting the right ventricle, that may cause arrhythmias and heart failure. Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to study various aspects of genetic information and electrocardiography (ECG), for their use in diagnosis and risk evaluation in ARVC. Material and methods: Paper I: The genotype-phenotype correlations in four unrelated families with a plakophilin 2 gene variant (PKP2 c.2146-1C>G) were studied, to determine 1) to what extent family members fulfil diagnostic criteria and 2) to assess whether these gene carriers had any specific clinical characteristics in common.
