โœฆ Synopsis


Despite inclusion in the diagnostic criteria for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, this study of 87 consecutive patients with isolated frequent LBBBmorphology PVCs and high PVC burden (mean 19%) demonstrated only a rare association with CMR diagnostic criteria for ARVC, no cases of ARVC diagnosis, no association of minor wall motion abnormalities (hypokinesis) with markers of ARVC, and no cardiac events in follow-up. Interestingly, however, RV dilation was very common and paralleled LV dilation.
