The list of RV functional and structural abnormalities now often used to help make an ARVD diagnosis are composed of subjective echocardiographic descriptions that could be interpreted variously by ...

Baltimore, MD - A report published this week has shown a high rate of ventricular tachycardia (VT) recurrence—as high as 75% at 14 months—in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy was first reported as the partial replacement of the right ventricular myocardium by fat or fibrous tissue. In 1965, researchers described the ...

Researchers have unveiled the first maturation-based "disease in a dish" model for arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C). The model was created using induced pluripotent ...

A Johns Hopkins study has provided the most comprehensive description to date of people most likely to develop a relatively rare heart condition, called arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy is an inherited cardiomyopathy estimated to affect approximately 1 in 5,000 individuals. Cardinal manifestations include right ventricular ...

Patient selection for implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death is especially difficult in inherited arrhythmia syndromes, owing to a lack of ...

A Johns Hopkins study finds that healthy people who carry a genetic mutation for arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy, or ARVD/C, are at much higher risk of developing the ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, or ARVD — also known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, or ARVC — is a genetic condition (autosomal dominant) affecting the desmosomes of ...
