Abstract excerpt
AIMS: We evaluated if right ventricular (RV) mechanical dispersion by strain was related to ventricular arrhythmias (VT/VF) in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and if mechanical dispersion was increased in so far asymptomatic mutation carriers. METHODS AND RESULTS: We included 69 patients, 42 had symptomatic ARVC and 27 were mutation positive asymptomatic family members. Forty...
