Specimen Requirements

For detailed information about the sample requirements, please consult our clinical sample requirements page.

*Turnaround times are estimated from receipt of satisfactory specimen and test request form at the laboratory to release of clinical report. The turnaround time may vary depending on the nature of the specimen and the complexity of the investigation required. The above table is only a guideline and the complexity of a case and the requirement for further investigations may change this.

About Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC)

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) encompasses a group of conditions characterised by right ventricular fibrofatty infiltration, with a predominant arrhythmic presentation.


The prevalence of ARVC is ∼1:2,000 to 1:5,000, depending on geographic location, and it has a slight male predominance.


ARVC is an inherited cardiomyopathy that mainly follows an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Several genes have been reported as causative genes for ARVC, and more than half of patients with ARVC have disease causing variants (mutations) in desmosome related genes.
