What is it about?
This study aimed to assess atrial involvement, especially the role of genotype on atrium in ARVC.

Why is it important?
The co-existence of atrial fibrosis and dilation may worsen the symptoms and prognosis of ARVC, which might be ignored
Perspectives
This study indicates that atrial involvement was common in ARVC. Tricuspid regurgitation and decreased LVEF increased the risk for atrial dilation. However, it seems that genotype was not associated with atrial involvement. We think this study is just the initial attempt to explore the underlying mechanism and further studies are needed
