Study design: Case Report
Abstract: We report a case of a woman with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) who presented with severe right-sided heart failure and cardiac cirrhosis that mandated heart-liver transplantation. This case highlights an emerging sex-based difference in ARVC where female sex is associated with a higher risk of heart failure than in male patients with ARVC. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
