Benefits and limits of selective right ventricular cineangiography in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia

Eur Heart J. 1989 Sep:10 Suppl D:46-8. doi: 10.1093/eurheartj/10.suppl_d.46.

Abstract

Cineangiographic data from patients with probable arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) were compared with those from matched controls. Some changes previously thought to indicate ARVD did not do so in this study. The abnormalities specific for ARVD were free wall morphological and wall motion abnormalities, particularly bulges and mamillated akinetic areas.
