Risk stratification of ventricular arrhythmias is vital to the optimal management in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). We hypothesized that 64-channel magnetocardiography (MCG) would be useful to detect isolated late activation (ILA) by overcoming the limitations of conventional noninvasive predictors of ventricular tachyarrhythmias, including epsilon waves, late potential (LP), and right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF), in ARVC patients.Methods and Results:We evaluated ILA on MCG, defined as discrete activations re-emerging after the decay of main RV activation (%magnitude &gt;5%), and conventional noninvasive predictors of ventricular tachyarrhythmias (epsilon waves, LP, and RVEF) in 40 patients with ARVC. ILA was noted in 24 (60%) patients. Most ILAs were found in RV lateral or inferior areas (17/24, 71%). We defined "delayed ILA" as ILA in which the conduction delay exceeded its median (50 ms). During a median follow-up of 42.5 months, major arrhythmic events (MAEs: 1 sudden cardiac death, 3 sustained ventricular tachycardias, and 4 appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator discharges) occurred more frequently in patients with delayed ILA (6/12) than in those without (2/28; log-rank: P=0.004). Cox regression analysis identified delayed ILA as the only independent predictor of MAEs (hazard ratio 7.63, 95% confidence interval 1.72-52.6, P=0.007), and other noninvasive parameters were not significant predictors.
