Popis: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is an urgent problem of modern cardiology. This myocardial remodeling manifests various desmosomopathies, channelopathies, and other mutations resulting in a violation of the coordinated heart work, particularly the myocardium. The incidence of this cardiomyopathy is not significant. Still, it is worth noting that athletes are at an increased risk of developing this disease, emphasizing the importance of studying this topic and its relevance from cardiologists and sports physicians. Moreover, the clinical pattern of this disease is heterogeneous. This pathology requires strengthening control and attention of medical personnel and constant improvement and optimization of diagnostic methods and treatment protocols. In this article, the pathophysiological mechanisms, molecular genetic aspects, and the dynamics of morphofunctional changes are represented in detail. Understanding the mechanisms of etiopathogenesis and the features of morphological changes observed in this cardiomyopathy and its more detailed study is fundamental in developing modern treatment methods to improve patients' quality and life expectancy.
