Left Ventricular Involvement in Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy – A Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study
BACKGROUND Few studies evaluated left ventricular (LV) involvement in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C). The aim of this study is to determine the frequency, clinical presentation, and pattern of LV involvement in ARVD/C (LV-ARVD/C). METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in 202 patients referred between 2008 and 2012 to our ...
متن کاملDiagnostic Dilemmas for Underlying Pathophysiology of Arrhythmias Originating from the Right Ventricle
We have read with great interest the case presentation entitled 'Successful Right Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation in a Patient with Left Ventricular Non-compaction Cardiomyopathy' by Honarbakhsh et al. in the recent issue of the journal [1]. They successfully ablated an arrhythmia focus originated from the normally appearing right ventricular free wall using the three-dimensional mapping and r...
متن کاملMorphologic variants of familial arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy a genetics-magnetic resonance imaging correlation study.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of left ventricular (LV) involvement in individuals predisposed to developing arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C), and to investigate novel morphologic variants of ARVD/C. BACKGROUND The discovery of desmosomal mutations associated with ARVD/C has led researchers to hypothesize equal right ventricu...
متن کاملRole of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is a genetic cardiomyopathy characterized clinically by ventricular arrhythmias and progressive right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. The histopathologic hallmark is fibro-fatty replacement of RV myocardium. It is inherited in an autosomal pattern with variable penetrance. ARVD is unique in that it most commonly presents in young, otherwise health...
متن کاملHypereosinophilic Cardiac Involvement Presenting With Left Ventricular Massive Thrombus and Cardioembolic Stroke: A Case Report
Introduction: It is well known that the tendency toward thrombosis is increased in cancer patients. The increase in cancer procoagulant and tissue factor levels, endothelial damage, and stasis due to compression are among the most accused causes of thrombosis in cancer patients. Hypereosinophilia is a rare condition that causes endothelial damage leading to thrombosis. <s...
