Arrhythmogenic right ventricular disease: MR imaging vs angiography.

摘要: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular disease (ARVD) is increasingly found in young adults with arrhythmias and characterized by tachycardia originating within the ventricle regional or diffuse abnormalities contraction of ventricle. Until now, gold standard for detection global wall has been angiography combined biopsy. The purpose current study was to compare MR imaging assessing location extent morphologic functional patients ARVD.Electrocardiographically gated spin-echo cine gradient-echo heart performed 36 consecutive biopsy-proved ARVD. Patients were prospectively separated into two groups according results invasive electrophysiologic tests (18 inducible during studies [ARVD 1] 18 without ventricula...
