Zusammenfassung
Zielsetzung: This study sought to determine the clinical influence of right and left ventricular findings in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) ≤18 years with suspected arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Material und Methodik: In a consecutive series between September 2010 and December 2013 (38 months), 79 (14.0 ± 3.9 years, 46 male) young patients ≤18 underwent contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) and genetic analysis after biopsy for evaluation of clinically suspected ARVC. Ergebnisse: Overall, in CMR 5 patients showed major ARVC criteria…
