The purpose of this study was to elucidate the clinical features of right ventricular (RV) dysplasia, a recently described clinical entity characterized by RV myopathic changes and ventricular tachycardia of left bundle branch block morphology. Five cases were reported, in which the diagnosis was
The subject was a 70 year-old man who survived for 31 years after being diagnosed with right ventricular cardiomyopathy, having undergone right ventricular (RV) aneurysmectomy at the age of 39. His arrhythmia and syncopal attacks were effectively abolished after the original aneurysmectomy. Although
Fetal dysrhythmias are usually transient. Abnormal fetal rates and rhythms during labor are "functional." Fetal dysrhythmias may be associated with congenital heart disease and fetal hydrops. Bradycardia is usually related to fetal distress; supraventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter, and atrial
A detailed understanding of cardiac anatomy and pathophysiology is necessary to optimize catheter ablation procedural success for patients with symptomatic ventricular tachycardia (VT)/premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) of outflow tract origin. Comprehensive imaging with cardiac magnetic
We analyzed the electron-microscopic features of endomyocardial biopsy from pediatric patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The specimens examined were taken from the right ventricle of ten patients aged from 2 to 15 years (mean 9.7 years). Biopsy specimens from eight patients with congenital
Nonischemic myocardial disease or cardiomyopathy can present as arrhythmia, palpitations, heart failure, dyspnea, lower extremity edema, ascites, syncope, and/or chest discomfort and can be classified as either systolic, diastolic, or a combination of both. Echocardiography is the mainstay of
Contrast-enhanced MRI using the delayed-enhancement technique (DE-MRI) is widely applied in the clinical work-up of myocardial diseases. Myocardial diseases of varying etiology result in myocardial changes, such as necrosis, fibrosis, edema and metabolite deposition, which can be visualized by
Cardiomyopathy is an anatomic and pathologic diagnosis associated with muscle or electrical dysfunction of the heart. Cardiomyopathies represent a heterogeneous group of diseases that often lead to progressive heart failure with significant morbidity and mortality. Cardiomyopathies may be primary
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a condition characterized by dilatation and systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle in the absence of severe coronary artery disease or abnormal loading conditions. Mutations in the titin (TTN) and lamin A/C (LMNA) genes are the two most significant
