Structural and functional assessment of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy by multi-slice
Abstract:
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) is an uncommon inheritable cardiomyopathy involving predominant right ventricle with progressive fibrofatty tissue replacement. An integrated assessment of electrical, functional and anatomic abnormalities, in addition to personal and family history would be used to diagnose this disease entity. We present the case of a 69-year-old man with a history of sustained ventricular tachycardia. Fatty infiltration and regional wall motion abnormalities over biventricular myocardium were clearly demonstrated by cardiac 64-slice computed tomography (CT), as consistent with magnetic resonance imaging. Thus, multi-slice CT may have a significant role in the assessment and follow-up of patients with ARVD/C by providing excellent structural, functional assessment and tissue characterization.
