Frank I. Marcus,William J. McKenna,Duane L. Sherrill,Cristina Basso,Barbara Bauce,David A. Bluemke,Hugh Calkins,Domenico Corrado,Moniek G.P.J. Cox,James P. Daubert,Guy Fontaine,Kathleen Gear,Richard N.W. Hauer,Andrea Nava,Michael H. Picard,Nikos Protonotarios,Jeffrey E. Saffitz,Danita M. Yoerger Sanborn,Jonathan S.

TL;DR: Modifications of the Task Force Criteria for the clinical diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia represent a working framework to improve the diagnosis and management of this condition.

Diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia
Frank I. Marcus,William J. McKenna,Duane L. Sherrill,Cristina Basso,Barbara Bauce,David A. Bluemke,Hugh Calkins,Domenico Corrado,Moniek G.P.J. Cox,James P. Daubert,Guy Fontaine,Kathleen Gear,Richard N.W. Hauer,Andrea Nava,Michael H. Picard,Nikos Protonotarios,Jeffrey E. Saffitz,Danita M. Yoerger Sanborn,Jonathan S.

TL;DR: The criteria for the clinical diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia have been modified to incorporate new knowledge and technology to improve diagnostic sensitivity, but with the important requisite of maintaining diagnostic specificity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia clinical presentation and diagnostic evaluation: results from the North American Multidisciplinary Study.
Frank I. Marcus,Wojciech Zareba,Hugh Calkins,Jeffrey A. Towbin,Cristina Basso,David A. Bluemke,N.A. Mark Estes,Michael H. Picard,Danita M. Yoerger Sanborn,Gaetano Thiene,Thomas Wichter,David S.

TL;DR: The clinical profile of 108 newly diagnosed probands with suspected ARVC/D indicates that a combination of diagnostic tests is needed to evaluate the presence of right ventricular structural, functional, and electrical abnormalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
MR Imaging of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy: morphologic findings and interobserver reliability.
David A. Bluemke,Elizabeth A. Krupinski,Theron W. Ovitt,Kathleen Gear,Evan C. Unger,Leon Axel,Lawrence M. Boxt,Giancarlo Casolo,Victor A. Ferrari,Brian Funaki,Sebastian Globits,Charles B. Higgins,Paul R. Julsrud,Martin J. Lipton,John B. Mawson,Anders Nygren,Dudley J. Pennell,Arthur E. Stillman,Richard D. White,Thomas Wichter,Frank I. Marcus +20 more
TL;DR: The size and shape of abnormalities in the RV are key MR imaging discriminates of ARVD, and these parameters need to be addressed in subsequent protocol development and multicenter trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ventricular arrhythmias in the North American multidisciplinary study of ARVC: predictors, characteristics, and treatment.
Mark S. Link,Douglas Laidlaw,Bronislava Polonsky,Wojciech Zareba,Scott McNitt,Kathleen Gear,Frank I. Marcus,N.A. Mark Estes +7 more
TL;DR: In the North American ARVC Registry, the majority of ventricular arrhythmias in follow-up are monomorphic, and all ICDs should be programmed for ATP, even for rapid VT.
