TL;DR: Comparison-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance may help to identify in vivo this concealed substrate for risk stratification of ventricular electric instability, an underestimated cause of arrhythmic SCD in young adult women.

TL;DR: In patients with AM and preserved LVEF, LGE in the midwall layer of the AS myocardial segment is associated with a worse prognosis than other patterns of presentation.

TL;DR: Domenico Corrado *, Peter J. van Tintelen, William J. McKenna, Richard N.W. Hauer, Aris Anastastakis, Angeliki Asimaki, Cristina Basso, Barbara Bauce, Corinna Brunckhorst, Chiara Bucciarelli-Ducci, Firat Duru, Perry Elliott, Robert M. Hamilton, Kristina H. Haugaa, Cynthia A.

TL;DR: Mitral annulus disjunction is a constant feature of arrhythmic MVP with LV fibrosis and the excessive mobility of the leaflets caused by posterior systolic curling accounts for a mechanical stretch of the inferobasal wall and papillary muscles, eventually leading to myocardial hypertrophy and scarring.

TL;DR: Compound/digenic heterozygosity was identified in 16% of ARVC-causing desmosomal gene mutation carriers and was a powerful risk factor for lifetime major arrhythmic events and sudden cardiac death (SCD) in ARVC.
