The article presents a review of literary scientific sources from the MEDLINE database on PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar platforms, focusing on arrhythmia in patients with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. In accordance with international guidelines, the definition of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic left ventricular cardiomyopathy, and biventricular heart damage are provided. An algorithm of the diagnostic process based on the Padua criteria is presented to verify the types of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. The electrocardiographic characteristics of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias and their clinical manifestation in patients with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy are described. The significance of genotype in the formation of arrhythmic phenotype in cardiomyopaties is emphasized in accordance with modern data. Treatment strategies for arrhythmias include pharmacotherapy and invasive methods. The indications for prescribing antiarrhythmic drugs to patients with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopaties are highlighted, taking into account clinical situations. The role of ablation of arrhythmogenic substrate and implantation of cardioverter-defibrillator in the prevention of sudden cardiac death of patients is shown.
