MRI to Assess Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cardiomyopathies are diseases of the myocardium associated with cardiac dysfunction. The latest report of the World Health Organization classifies them according to the dominant pathophysiology (Table 1). The diagnosis of cardiomyopathy has been greatly improved in recent years by non-invasive imaging techniques. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance, or CMR, is now firmly established in clinical and research cardiovascular medicine as a tool for evaluating cardiomyopathy.

MRI 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. ...
متن کاملMRI of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia.
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 char...

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 کاملACR appropriateness criteria® nonischemic myocardial disease with clinical manifestations (ischemic cardiomyopathy already excluded).
Nonischemic myocardial disease or cardiomyopathy can present as arrhythmia, palpitations, heart failure, dyspnea, lower extremity edema, ascites, syncope, and/or chest discomfort and can be classified as either systolic, diastolic, or a combination of both. Echocardiography is the mainstay of evaluating left ventricular function. However, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is now consider...
متن کاملNoninvasive detection of myocardial fibrosis in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy using delayed-enhancement magnetic resonance imaging.
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. ...
