Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term prognostic role of the 2010 task force criteria (TFC)-based scoring in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D). Categories of the 2010 TFC include the risk factors for cardiovascular mortality and sudden cardiac death in patients with ARVC/D. Ninety patients with ARVC/D who met the definitive diagnosis of the 2010 TFC were retrospectively studied. ARVC/D risk score was calculated as the sum of major (2 points) and minor (1 point) criteria in all 6 subdivided categories of the TFC and was divided into tertile groups of scores; group A (4 to 6 points), group B (7 to 9 points), and group C (10 to 12 points). The primary endpoints were major adverse cardiovascular events: cardiovascular death, heart failure hospitalization, and sustained ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. During the follow-up period of 10.2 ± 7.1 years, 19 patients died because of cardiovascular causes, 28 patients were admitted because of worsened heart failure, and 47 patients experienced sustained ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. Patients in groups B and C were at increased risk for major adverse cardiovascular events compared with t...Continue Reading

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.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

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.
