Strength-Based Exercise Is Not Associated With Ventricular Arrhythmia in Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy-Towards Safer Exercise Options

The authors aimed to determine whether strength-based exercise is associated with an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmia (VA) in individuals with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) or pathogenic gene variants. Their findings indicate that strength training does not correlate with a higher risk of VA, in contrast to endurance exercise, suggesting that strength-based activities may be safer for individuals with ACM. This research underscores the importance of personalized risk assessment in exercise recommendations for patients with ACM.
