Di Marco<\/strong>.<\/p>\nARVC is a type of genetically based cardiomyopathy characterized by dysfunction of the right ventricle, although the involvement of both ventricles is increasingly recognized. It is also characterized by the presence of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, sudden death could be the first manifestation of the disease.<\/p>\n
External validation confirms that the evaluated model has a good predictive capacity for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death. Therefore, “the ARVCrisk calculator can be used as a guide for making relevant clinical decisions, such as the implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) for primary prevention in patients with ARVC<\/em>,” says Dr. Di Marco<\/strong>.<\/p>\nIn parallel, the IDIBELL team has actively collaborated in the preparation and execution of another project with the same cohort of patients, currently in the statistical analysis phase.<\/p>\n

The Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) is a biomedical research center created in 2004. It is participated by the Bellvitge University Hospital and the Viladecans Hospital of the Catalan Institute of Health, the Catalan Institute of Oncology, the University of Barcelona and the City Council of L’Hospitalet de Llobregat.<\/em><\/p>\nIDIBELL is a member of the Campus of International Excellence of the University of Barcelona HUBc and is part of the CERCA institution of the Generalitat de Catalunya. In 2009 it became one of the first five Spanish research centers accredited as a health research institute by the Carlos III Health Institute. In addition, it is part of the “HR Excellence in Research” program of the European Union and is a member of EATRIS and REGIC. Since 2018, IDIBELL has been an Accredited Center of the AECC Scientific Foundation (FCAECC).<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Twenty-nine reference centers from the United
