Table 3 Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
Sequence | Imaging plane | Indication |
|---|---|---|
Standard imaging | ||
Cine bSSFP | Short-axis stack | LV volumes, mass, and EF RV volumes and EF |
LV long-axis views | Regional wall motion abnormalities | |
Axial stack | RV regional wall motion abnormality and RV aneurysm RV volumes and EF | |
2 Chamber RV view RVOT sagittal view | RV regional wall motion abnormality and RV aneurysm | |
Additional case-specific or comprehensive imaging | ||
T1-weighted imaging with and without fat saturation | Axial stack covering RV Short-axis stack | Fatty infiltration, although this is not part of the ARVC Task Force criteria |
Late gadolinium enhancement | Short-axis stack LV long-axis views RV-specific views | Focal fibrosis, but also not part of diagnostic criteria |
