Arrhythmogenic Noncompaction Cardiomyopathy: Is There an Echocardiographic Phenotypic Overlap of Two Distinct Cardiomyopathies?
The clinical diagnosis of right ventricular (RV) cardiomyopathies is often challenging. It is difficult to differentiate the isolated left ventricular (LV) noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NC) from biventricular NC or from coexisting arrhythmogenic ventricular cardiomyopathy (AC). There are currently few established morphologic criteria for the diagnosis other than RV dilation and presence of exce...
متن کاملPathologic evidence of extensive left ventricular involvement in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (also known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia) is characterized by adipose or fibroadipose tissue replacement of the right ventricular myocardium, whereas the left ventricle is substantively spared. Two cases of the disease with evidence of extensive left ventricular involvement at pathologic examination are described. Hearts from two ...

INTRODUCTION Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is an inherited myocardial disease affecting predominantly young people and manifests as sustained ventricular tachycardia with left bundle branch block morphology, sudden death or isolated right or biventricular heart failure. However, its first manifestation as sustained ventricular tachycardia in older patients without preceding sy...
متن کاملClinical and genetic characterization of families with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy provides novel insights into patterns of disease expression.
BACKGROUND According to clinical-pathological correlation studies, the natural history of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy is purported to progress from localized to global right ventricular dysfunction, followed by left ventricular (LV) involvement and biventricular pump failure. The inevitable focus on sudden death victims and transplant recipients may, however, have ...
متن کاملRegional differences in systolic and diastolic function in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy using magnetic resonance imaging.
Global and regional biventricular functions were analyzed in 14 patients diagnosed with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy using cine magnetic resonance imaging and compared with similar data from 18 age-matched controls. In this study, we report results of quantitative evaluation of biventricular global and regional function using peak ejection rate and peak filling rate...
