- Abstract
Arrhythmogenic‐cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited heart disease with right, left, or biventricular (BVACM) involvement based on EKG, imaging, family history, and genetic testing. We present a 64‐year‐old woman with prior myocarditis and diagnosis of BVACM 29 years later. We propose myocarditis as a promoter of gene expression of plakophilin‐2 mutation.
