Efficacy of antiarrhythmic drugs in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy: a report from the North American ARVC Registry.

9 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: This study sought to examine the efficacy of empiric antiarrhythmic drugs in a rigorously characterized cohort of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) patients. BACKGROUND: Antiarrhythmic drugs are important in ... Read more...

Epicardial substrate and outcome with epicardial ablation of ventricular tachycardia in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia.

18 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: Efficacy of endocardial ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia may be limited by epicardial VT, right ventricular thickening, or both. We sought to characterize the endocardial ... Read more...

Echocardiographic tissue deformation imaging quantifies abnormal regional right ventricular function in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy.

21 Jun 2009 BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of new quantitative echocardiographic strain and strain-rate imaging parameters to identify abnormal regional right ventricular (RV) deformation associated with arrhythmogenic right ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia'

Definition: A congenital cardiomyopathy that is characterized by infiltration of adipose and fibrous tissue into the RIGHT VENTRICLE wall and loss of myocardial cells. Primary injuries usually are at the free wall of right ventricular and right ATRIA resulting in ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias.

Descriptor UI: D019571
