Abstract Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a family inherited cardiomyopathy associated with ventricular arrhythmias. With the development of molecular biology, histology, imaging, and other diagnostic techniques, the diagnosis rate and incidence of ARVC have gradually increased. However, ARVC remains rare in clinical practice. Currently, the diagnosis and management of ARVC is far from satisfactory in clinical practice. In the case report, we described a clinical case of radiofrequency ablation guided by voltage mapping and right ventriculography in the treatment of ARVC with ventricular tachycardia and discussed the relevant literatures.
