MRI of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is currently considered as the noninvasive modality of choice for evaluation of patients with suspected Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia (i.e., right ventricular dysplasia). As arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D) it is included in the WHO classification of cardiomyopathies. It has the unique ability to provide tissue characterization in addition to providing functional information. This article presents the basic techniques for the evaluation of right ventricular cardiomyopathy.

Background New recommendations from task force criteria for the diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D) include regional right ventricle (RV) akinesia or dyskinesia or dyssynchronous RV contraction associated to RV dilatation or RV dysfunction evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as major diagnostic criteria. However the frequent presentation of ...
متن کاملMRI in childhood Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy and proposed modification of the Task Force Criteria for children
Background ARVC is a genetically determined cardiomyopathy which typically manifests clinically during the second to fourth decade of life. The diagnosis is made using a scoring system of signs and symptoms, known as the revised task force criteria (rTFC). MRI has recently been shown to be of little added value in the diagnosis of ARVC in adults. Its role in the pediatric age group is unclear. ...

BACKGROUND Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD), is a genetic disorder of the heart, which mainly involves the right ventricle. It is characterized by hypokinetic areas at the free wall of the right ventricle (RV) or both ventricles, where myocardium is replaced by fibrous or fatty tissue. ARVD is an important cause of ventricular arrhythmias in children and young adults. Although ...

OBJECTIVES We evaluated the role of myocardial delayed-enhancement (MDE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for noninvasive detection of fibrosis in Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C). BACKGROUND Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy is characterized by fibro-fatty replacement of the right ventricle (RV) leading to arrhythmias and RV failure. ...

“Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia” (ARVD), a heart muscle disorder characterized by the presence of fibro-fatty tissue and ventricular electrical vulnerability related to sudden death, was first described in 1977 by a French team. Since then, other terms such as “arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy” (ARVC), “arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy” (AC), “left-dominant arrhythmogeni...
