Impact of new electrocardiographic criteria in arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC) has originally been described as a disorder characterized by fibrofatty replacement of the myocardium, primarily of the right ventricle (RV), and ventricular tachyarrhythmias, sudden death, and at a late stage progressive heart failure. Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia or cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) was the previous name of the disease. However, similar ...
متن کاملArrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy diagnostic task force criteria: impact of new task force criteria.
BACKGROUND Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) Diagnostic Task Force Criteria (TFC) proposed in 1994 are highly specific but lack sensitivity. A new international task force modified criteria to improve diagnostic yield. A comparison of diagnosis by 1994 TFC versus newly proposed criteria in 3 patient groups was conducted. METHODS AND RESULTS In new TFC, scoring...
متن کاملNew ECG criteria in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Desmosomal changes, electric uncoupling, and surviving myocardial bundles in fibrofatty tissue characterize arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C). Resultant activation delay is pivotal for reentry and thereby ventricular tachycardia (VT). Current task force criteria (TFC) for diagnosis have limited sensitivity. The aim of this study was to assess the diag...
متن کاملThe impact of new proposed arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) criteria on CMR diagnosis
Methods From January 2001 to December 2010, we studied 457 pts (279 males, 178 females; mean age 47±18 yrs) to exclude/confirm a clinical suspicion of ARVC; this suspicion was based on combination of clinical signs and symptoms, 12 leads-ECG data, anamnestic data, electrophysiologic data, and pathologic data, when available. All CMR were performed with a clinical 1.5 T scanner (Signa Excite 2, ...
متن کاملArrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy: contribution of different electrocardiographic techniques.
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, also known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, is a condition in which myocardium is replaced by fibrous or fibrofatty tissue, predominantly in the right ventricle. It is clinically characterized by potentially lethal ventricular arrhythmias, and is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death. Its prevalence is not known exactly but is est...
