My Approach To Echocardiographic Evaluation in Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy
DOI: 10.36660/abcimg.20240033i
Abstract
Careful echocardiographic evaluation of the right ventricle, although challenging and sometimes neglected, is of utmost importance in the diagnosis of certain pathologies, such as arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) — a hereditary myocardial disease associated with the development of ventricular arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudden death. This article aims to review the diagnostic criteria proposed in the 2010 Task Force and the modifications suggested by the 2020 Padua criteria, as well as illustrate the potential use of advanced echocardiography techniques for earlier detection and prognostic definition.
