Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited cardiac disorder characterized by progressive fibrofatty replacement of the myocardium. In the Japanese population, variants of the desmoglein-2 ( A 6-year-old asymptomatic girl was diagnosed with ACM based on abnormal electrocardiogram findings, including epsilon waves, and T-wave inversions in leads V This case illustrates the potential for severe pediatric ACM associated with compound heterozygous This case underscores the genetic heterogeneity and phenotypic variability in inherited cardiomyopathies. It emphasizes the importance of comprehensive genetic testing and close monitoring of affected individuals and their families. Show less
