Was diagnosed with ARVD in August 2008 after checking myself into hospital after fainting. After the condition was finally diagnosed I was given an ICD as insurance against a potential arrhythmogenic issue. In 2017 insurance policy paid out when I had a VT storm where ICD fired 60 times in 45 minutes. Having been taking Amiodarone since then. Have also developed Congestive Heart Failure as a result of the ARVD. Am taking Entresto and a diuretic to 'control' the heart failure. So far the drugs have been effective and there really have been no adverse effects affecting my lifestyle.
