Statistical analysis of ventricular shape of ARVC patients and correlation with clinical diagnostic indices

چکیده
Background Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited cardiomyopathy characterized by fatty and fibrotic replacement of cardiac tissue, which ultimately affects the structure, function and electrical propagation of the ventricles. Diagnosis of ARVC is challenging and is currently guided by the 2010 Task force criteria (2010TFC), which includes criteria identified from imaging, ECG and family history. We aimed to compute a mean 3D model of the ventricles of ARVC patients and analyse the shape modes around this mean to correlate with the 2010TFC indices.

Ventricular structure in ARVC: going beyond volumes as a measure of risk
BACKGROUND Altered right ventricular structure is an important feature of Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC), but is challenging to quantify objectively. The aim of this study was to go beyond ventricular volumes and diameters and to explore if the shape of the right and left ventricles could be assessed and related to clinical measures. We used quantifiable computational me...
متن کاملClinical usefulness of immunohistochemistry for plakoglobin, N-cadherin, and connexin-43 in the diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.
Diagnosing arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is often challenging because no single diagnostic tool is available to detect the disease. We evaluated whether analysis of plakoglobin, N-cadherin, and connexin-43 immunoreactivity can be used as a significant test in diagnosis of ARVC. We selected subjects with suspicion of ARVC (n=22) in patients who underwent endomyocardial b...

متن کاملA meta-analysis for the echocardiographic assessment of right ventricular structure and function in ARVC: a Study by the Research and Audit Committee of the British Society of Echocardiography
INTRODUCTION Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited pathology that can increase the risk of sudden death. Current Task Force Criteria for echocardiographic diagnosis do not include new, regional assessment tools which may be relevant in a phenotypically diverse disease. We adopted a systematic review and meta-analysis approach to highlight echocardiographic indic...

Despite inclusion in the diagnostic criteria for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, this study of 87 consecutive patients with isolated frequent LBBBmorphology PVCs and high PVC burden (mean 19%) demonstrated only a rare association with CMR diagnostic criteria for ARVC, no cases of ARVC diagnosis, no association of minor wall motion abnormalities (hypokinesis) with markers of ARV...
