Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in Patients Meeting Task Force Criteria for Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia

Abstract

High intramyocardial T1 signal indicative of fat is seen in a high percentage (75%) of patients who meet the Task Force criteria for ARVD. Trabecular disarray is seen more frequently than wall thinning and aneurysms. RV dimensions and volumes differ significantly in ARVD compared to controls, indicating a role for quantitative evaluation in the diagnosis of ARVD.
