Prior to the decision of the treatment option, programmed electrical stimulation in the electrophysiology laboratory may be performed for additional prognostic information. Goals of programmed stimulation include:

Assessment of the diseases arrhythmogenic potential
Evaluate the hemodynamic consequences of sustained VT
Determine whether the VT can be interrupted via antitachycardia pacing (ATP).Regardless of the management option chosen, the individual is typically advised to undergo lifestyle modification, including avoidance of strenuous exercise, cardiac stimulants (i.e. : caffeine, nicotine, pseudoephedrine) and alcohol. Regarding physical activity and exercise, ARVC patients, as well as gene carriers of pathogenic ARVC-associated desmosomal mutations, should not participate in competitive sports. These patients should be advised to limit their exercise programmes to leisure-time activities and remain under clinical surveillance. Medications
Pharmacologic management of ACM involves arrhythmia suppression and prevention of thrombus formation. Sotalol, a beta blocker and a class III antiarrhythmic agent, is the most effective antiarrhythmic agent in ACM. Other antiarrhythmic agents used include amiodarone and conventional beta blockers (i.e. : metoprolol). If antiarrhythmic agents are used, their efficacy should be guided by series ambulatory Holter monitoring, to show a reduction in arrhythmic events. While angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE Inhibitors) are well known for slowing progression in other cardiomyopathies, they have not been proven to be helpful in ACM. Individuals with decreased RV ejection fraction with dyskinetic portions of the right ventricle may benefit from long term anticoagulation with warfarin to prevent thrombus formation and subsequent pulmonary embolism. Catheter ablation
Catheter ablation may be used to treat intractable ventricular tachycardia. It has a 60–90% success rate.
Because the contracture occurred at the same time as the paralysis, he considered a nerve cause to be unlikely. References
