Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an uncommon inherited myocardial disorder characterised by fibro-fatty inflammation affecting the right and left ventricles. It most commonly presents with palpitations or syncope but sudden death may occur, especially in young males. METHODS Diagnosis is not possible with a single test and may be difficult. Task Force crite...
متن کاملTreatment of Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy/Dysplasia
A rrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dyspla-sia (ARVC/D) is an inheritable heart muscle disease that predominantly affects the right ventricle (RV) and predisposes to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). In the last three decades, there have been a significant number of studies defining the pathogenesis, genetic aspects, and clinical manifestations of the disease ...
متن کاملArrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy: diagnosis, genetic background, and risk management
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC), also known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C), is a hereditary disease characterised by ventricular arrhythmias, right ventricular and/or left ventricular dysfunction, and fibrofatty replacement of cardiomyocytes. Patients with AC typically present between the second and the fourth decade of life with ventricular tachycardia...
متن کاملArrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia in Iraq.
BACKGROUND Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D) is a disorder that involves replacement of the right ventricular myocardium with fibro-fatty tissue. Ventricular tachycardia is a main presenting feature. There are no known reports of this disease from the Arab countries in the Middle East. This is the first report of 34 patients from Iraq. METHODS Thirty four pati...
متن کاملCatheter Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia/Fibrillation in a Patient with Right Ventricular Amyloidosis with Initial Manifestations Mimicking Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy
Differentiating arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) from other cardiomyopathies is clinically important but challenging. Although the modified Task Force Criteria can facilitate diagnosis of ARVD/C according to clinical manifestations, histopathological examination plays a pivotal role in excluding other diseases that can mimic ARVD/C. Here, we report a patient wi...
