Further epidemiological studies are needed in order to determine the prevalence of ADOA in Singapore. [iovs.arvojournals.org]

Pathophysiology The pathophysiology of ARVC on the cellular level remains unclear, but may be caused by disruption of intercellular junctions in the myocardium. Myocyte separation may cause cell death, which increases afterload and wall stress. [sinaiem.org]
