Diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy by 3 different sets of criteria

Abstract

Introduction: Diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia / cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) has major implications for the management of patients and their first-degree relatives. Diagnosis may be difficult and is based on a set of criteria proposed by the International Task Force (TF) for Cardiomyopathies in 1994. More recently, diagnostic criteria based on MRI or ECG only have been suggested in the literature. We evaluated the consistency in outcome between 3 different sets of diagnostic criteria.
