The symptoms develop gradually because, if you have the insulin resistant form of type 2, it takes time for the effects of insulin resistance to show up.

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a form of heart disease that usually appears in adulthood. ARVC is a disorder of the myocardium, which is the muscular wall of the heart.
Boxers also have an inherited risk of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). ARVC, as the name implies, is also a disease of the heart muscle. Boxers and Bulldogs with ARVC develop fatty or fibrous tissue which replaces normal heart cells. This abnormal infiltration results in problems with the heartâs electrical conduction system and arrhythmias (irregular heart beats) occur.
