Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy is a genetic disorder characterized by fibrofattty replacement of the right ventricular myocardium. In the revised 2010 Task Force Criteria, a major criteria for ARVD/C is the presence of RV aneurysm by 2D echo. Our report demonstrates that intracardiac ultrasound can detect RV aneurysms and also focal absence of trabeculations which bri...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) is considered a hereditary cardiac disease, characterised by ventricular arrhythmias with left bundle branch block morphology, fibro-fatty replacement of cardiomyocytes and predominantly affecting the right ven-tricle [1, 2]. Recently, arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC) was suggested as the preferred terminology [3]. The most im...

BACKGROUND Identification of patients at risk of developing adverse events would enable aggressive medical therapy and possibly targeted revascularization. The aim of this study is to characterize the determinants of long-term outcomes in atherosclerotic renovascular disease (ARVD). METHODS Patients with a radiological diagnosis of ARVD were recruited into this single-center prospective cohor...

Contrast-echocardiography in conjunction with realtime video-densiometry can be an effective means of studying right ventricular (RV) structural changes, e.g. in patients diagnosed with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia (ARVD). In order to characterize RV flow pattern it may be necessary to track the front of the contrast agent as it enters the RV. Active contour models (ACM) is a stan...

BACKGROUND Right ventricular (RV) shape and function serves as an indicator in several types of heart disease such as arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD). However, there is no in-depth knowledge of RV motion, even in healthy subjects. The aim of our study was to provide a quantitative analysis of normal variations in RV wall motion in healthy subjects by cardiac magnetic resonance...

We would like to thank the author for their interest in our manuscript [1] as well as for their considerate comments. Our patient initially presented in another center with ventricular ectopics (VEs) that were mapped and ablated from the right ventricular outflow tract. The second arrhythmia foci had left bundle branch block morphology but different axis, and it was mapped and ablated by us at ...
