35:30 – Other than exertion exercise, what other things would cause progression of ARVC?


36:30 – Is there anything about ARVC that we know this year that we didn’t know last year?


37:52 – How do you know if a patient has ARVC rather than DCM? What is the difference and is it possible to be labelled as DCM when in fact you have ARVC?


38:58 – I am asymptomatic with ARVC, how much exercise is too much?


40:10 – Does a lamin mutation suggest ARVC?


40:50 – Do coffee and alcohol intake have an effect on the progression of ARVC?


41:48 – if you have ALVC (left ventricular, or left-dominant) arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, do you have to take the same precautions regarding exercise as someone with ARVC?


42:42 can you define the ‘hot phase’?


43:50 – If you have a lamin mutation, is this a laminopathy or does muscular dystrophy need to be visible for it to be a laminopathy?
