Arrhythmogenic ventricular cardiomyopathy: A paradigm shift from right to biventricular disease

Figure 5 Regional right ventricular dyskinesia of the right free wall detected by cardiac imaging are considered as a major criterion for right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia according to the revised task force criteria if additionally right ventricle dilation or impaired right ventricle ejection fraction are present. These cardiac magnetic resonance images (upper panel 4-chamber view, lower panel 2-chamber view late sequences) show aneurysms of the RV free wall (long arrows), and LV involvement detected by a small akinetic region (arrowhead) and late gadolinium enhancement of the posterior LV wall (short arrow), confirming biventricular involvement. ARVC/D: arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia; RV: Right ventricle; LV: Left ventricle.
