Background Right ventricular (RV) dilatation is a key imaging criterion of the 2010 modified task force criteria for the diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D), which makes accurate and reproducible volumetric anaylsis essential. We wanted to evaluate the effect of using new thresholding software in volume analysis compared to standard manual contouring ...

BACKGROUND Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy is characterized by ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Once the diagnosis is established, risk stratification to determine whether implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) placement is warranted is critical. METHODS AND RESULTS The cohort included 312 patients (163 men, age at presentation 33.6±13.9 years)...

The clinical course in 15 patients with features consistent with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is described. At referral seven patients had abnormal physical findings, nine had abnormal electrocardiograms with non-specific right-sided abnormalities, and seven patients had increased heart size or prominent right ventricles on chest x ray. During long term follow up (mean 8.8 years, ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is underdiagnosed cardiomyopathy which commonly presents in young adults with ventricular tachycardia or sudden death. We report a case of ARVD presenting with features of acute coronary syndrome. The suspicion of ARVD came only when echocardiogram revealed abnormal shape and wall motion of right ventricle, which was later confirmed by right ven...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) was the term originally used to identify a new cardiac entity characterized by right ventricular arrhythmias and juvenile sudden death. Recognition of this disease was the result of the investigation of a group of patients who had no cardiac abnormalities on physical examination but developed episodic right ventricular tachycardia. Treatment by ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) encompasses a spectrum of presentations including ventricular tachycardia, sudden cardiac death and heart failure. Complete right ventricular disarticulation was effective in a young athletic male who was refractory to drug therapy and experienced recurrent shock therapies from an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator that were incapacitating. ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy is a disorder characterized by frequent ventricular tachycardia originating from the right ventricle and fibro-fatty replacement of right ventricular myocardium. Though the disorder was originally described during surgical ablation of refractory ventricular tachycardia, catheter ablation of tachycardia is one of the options for patients ...
