	ARRHYTHMOGENIC RIGHT VENTRICULAR CARDIOMYOPATHY/DYSPLASIA Edited by A. Nava, Department of Cardiology, University of Padua Medical School. Padua, Italy L. Rossi, Institute of Pathological Anatomy, University of Milan, IRCCS, Ospedale Maggiore, Milan, Italy G. Thiene, Cardiovascular Pathology, University of Padua Medical School, Padua, Italy Included in series International Congress, 1122 Description In this book a complete overview of current knowledge is presented, running from pathology to recent progress in molecular biology and with special reference to diagnostic procedures and pharmacologic-non pharmacologic therapies. Incidence and natural history of the disease are addressed as well, stressing the occurrence of sudden death. The book, the first on the topic, is an updated survey on ARVC/D and includes 38 chapters with a worldwide authorship as a result of an international cooperative study. Contents Foreword. Preface.
