Low QRS voltage and atrial fibrillation precluding implantation of a subcutaneous implantable cardioverterdefibrillator in a patient with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC) is a rare mostly hereditary disease, in which fibro-fatty tissue replaces cardiomyocytes. Typically, the first alterations of the disease can be encountered in the epicardium of the right ventricle in adolescent patients. From there, the disease usually progresses...
