Evaluation of signal-averaged electrocardiography for clinical diagnosis in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia

Abstract

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is a heart muscle disorder of unknown etiology that is characterized pathologically by fibrofatty replacement of the right ventricular myocardium. We investigated the relationship between the electrocardiogram (ECG) appearances and signal-averaged ECG (SAECG) in 7 cases with ARVD, and evaluated the usefulness of SAECG as a screening test to detect patients with ARVD. Compared with the conventional 12-lead ECG, the SAECG detects abnormalities at a higher rate in ARVD patients (57% versus 86%). SAECG was more sensitive as a screening test to detect patients with ARVD than 12-lead ECG.

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a congenital cardiomyopathy that is characterized by infiltration of adipose and fibrous tissue into the right ventricle wall and loss of myocardial cells. Primary injuries usually are at the free wall of the right ventricular and right atria resulting in ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias. Discover the latest research on arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia here.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
