Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Analysis of regional wall motion of the right ventricle (RV) is primarily qualitative with large interobserver variation in clinical practice. Thus, the purpose of this study was to use feature tracking to analyze regional wall motion abnormalities in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). METHODS: We enrolled 110 subjects (39 overt ARVC [mutation+/phenotype+] (35.5%),...
