Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia (ARVD), now more commonly referred to as Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy (ACM), is a genetic heart condition where muscle tissue in the right ventricle is gradually replaced by fat and fibrous tissue. This structural change can disrupt the heart's electrical signals, leading to dangerous arrhythmias and, in some cases, sudden cardiac death in young adults and athletes.
Because the diagnosis is complex, Cardiac MRI (CMR) has become an essential tool for identifying the structural and functional changes characteristic of this condition. Why Cardiac MRI is the Gold Standard for ARVD Download IRM dysplasie arythmogГЁne pdf
Cardiac MRI is preferred because it provides detailed, high-resolution images of the right ventricle (RV) without using radiation. It allows doctors to: Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy | JACC Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia (ARVD)
