Summary

This study tests whether spironolactone, a medication that helps the body get rid of extra fluid, can slow down heart muscle damage and reduce dangerous heart rhythms in people with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD). ARVD is a rare condition where heart muscle is replaced by fat and scar tissue, leading to electrical problems. About 120 adults with ARVD will be randomly assigned to take either spironolactone or a placebo for up to 3 years. Researchers will measure changes in heart function and rhythm to see if the drug helps preserve heart health and improve quality of life.
