  • Progression to dilated cardiomyopathy (∼ 15% of cases)
  • Heart failure or sudden cardiac death: probably due to ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation (common in adults < 40 years old)
  • Acute and/or persistent arrhythmias
  • Atrioventricular block
  • Intracardiac thrombi formation, which can result in systemic embolization
