Dear patient,
One of the main issues is to determine the risk for sudden cardiac death for ARVD; if a cardiologist deems that there is increased risk, then discussions about an implanateble defibrillator would be indicated.
Otherwise, medications such as betablockers, calcium channel blockers are usually indicated.
