This article outlines the spectrum of MRI findings in RV using a combination of static and cine images. ONLUSION. The detection of right ventricular enlargement, fatty infiltration, fibrosis, and wall motion abnormalities at MRI is useful in the diagnosis of RV. rrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (RV), also known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (RVD), is characterized by progressive fibrofatty replacement of the right ventricular myocardium. It represents an underdiagnosed cardiac entity leading to syncope, recurrent ventricular tachycardia, heart failure, and occasionally sudden cardiac death in a younger population [1]. The pathogenesis of RV is not fully established, but there appears to be a genetic basis in many patients. The prevalence in the population is estimated at 1 per 1,000 5,000. Familial occurrence can approach 50%. RV accounts for 3 4% of deaths in sports and 5% of sudden cardiac deaths in people younger than 65 years [2, 3]. Patients may present at any age but are usually young or middle-aged. There is a 3:1 maleto-female ratio. broad range of symptoms may occur, including palpitations, fatigue, syncope, and chest pain. In some cases, cardiac arrest after physical exertion, such as participation in sports, may be the initial presenting complaint [4]. Many patients are asymptomatic and are diagnosed by familial screening. The diagnosis of RV is based on established criteria determined by a task force comprising the European Society of ardiology and the International Society and Federation of ardiology [5]. Pathophysiology RV is characterized by progressive replacement of normal myocardium in the right ventricle by fibrofatty tissue. The most common location for this tissue transforma- tion is between the anterior infundibulum, the right ventricular apex, and the inferior or diaphragmatic aspect of the right ventricle, the so-called triangle of dysplasia. Dysplasia in this region may lead to dilatation or aneurysm formation with associated paradoxical motion. The left ventricle and septum are usually spared from the fibrofatty transformation, although they may be involved in more extensive cases. In addition, the conduction system of the heart is usually spared. The presence of arrhythmias and the characteristic EG findings are caused by the dispersion of myocytes that can incite tachycardic events as the dysplasia progresses. Two forms of fibrofatty replacement have been described. In fibrolipomatosis type I, there is predominantly fatty replacement with a small amount of fibrosis surrounding surviving myocardial cells. In fibrolipomatosis type II, there is a much greater amount of fibrosis [2]. Previous authors have attempted to distinguish between these two histologic forms of RV. The predominantly fatty replacement type is described as typical RVD, and the mixed fibrofatty type is described as a more cardiomyopathic form of the disease [6]. Further attempts have been made to investigate morphologic variants of RV on the basis of morphologic and MRI findings [7]. The mode of inheritance of RV in most patients is autosomal dominant with incomplete penetrance. There is also an autosomal recessive form called Naxos disease, in which there are skin (palmoplantar keratoses) and hair (woolly hair) manifestations, in addition to RV. Genetic testing has identified genetic and chromosomal muta- JR:194, pril 2010 W299

This was initially described in the autosomal recessive form in 2000 [8] and subsequently in the autosomal-dominant form in 2002 [9]. t least 10 further gene mutations have since been described in the autosomal dominant form. Diagnosis Physical Examination and EG Physical examination is normal in at least 50% of patients with RV. Diagnosis is often made following a workup for tachycardia in an otherwise healthy adult; 50 90% of people with RV will have characteristic findings on a resting EG. These findings include T-wave inversion in the anterior precordial leads (V1 V6), premature ventricular beats > 200 over 24 hours, epsilon waves, and ventricular tachycardia with a left bundle branch block pattern. Epsilon waves are small deflections just beyond the QRS complex that are best seen on a signal-averaged EG in leads V1 V3. Diagnostic riteria The diagnosis of RV is based on the presence of major and minor criteria (ppendix 1). These criteria encompass structural, histologic, EG, arrhythmic, and genetic factors, as described elsewhere [5]. lthough these criteria are specific, they lack sensitivity and have never been validated, in part because there is no single definitive means of making the diagnosis. revision of these diagnostic guidelines has been proposed, aiming to improve diagnostic sensitivity, particularly in first-degree relatives of patients, for whom there may be incomplete phenotypic expression [10]. The preferred method for making the diagnosis is based on histologic evidence of fibrofatty myocardium. Unfortunately, however, biopsy lacks sufficient sensitivity because of the segmental nature of the disease process, resulting in sampling error, and because many clinicians biopsy the septum rather than the free wall of the right ventricle to avoid the risk of ventricular perforation. patient is considered to have RV if two major criteria, or one major and two minor criteria, or four minor criteria are satisfied. Imaging Techniques and Findings Imaging techniques for detection of the morphologic and functional abnormalities of RV include conventional angiography, echocardiography, MDT, and, most importantly, MRI. ngiography is invasive, does not detect fatty infiltration, and relies on wall motion abnormalities that are often missed unless multiple projections are obtained. Echocardiography, although excellent in the assessment of the left ventricle, is limited in the evaluation of the right ventricle. This is because much of the free wall lies directly behind the sternum and ribs and is not seen. Experience with T in the diagnosis of RV is limited, but it has been used in the detection of morphologic abnormalities and wall motion abnormalities, particularly in patients with implantable defibrillators [11]. MRI is established as the imaging technique of choice in the assessment of RV. Standard protocol in our institution consists of axial breath-hold double inversion recovery turbo spin-echo sequences ( black blood ) with and without fat saturation from the base of the heart to the bifurcation of the pulmonary artery; true fast imaging with steadystate precession (TrueFISP ( bright blood ) cine sequences of the right ventricular outflow tract, vertical long axis, horizontal long access, and short axis of the heart from the mitral valve to the cardiac apex; short axis breath-hold double inversion-recovery turbo spin-echo; and delayed contrast-enhanced MRI sequences using segmented recovery turbo FLSH in both the axial plane (eight axial images through the heart) and short axis images from the mitral valve the cardiac apex. Gadolinium dose is 0.2 mmol/kg. MRI can detect fatty infiltration in the right ventricle (Figs. 1 6) and occasionally in the left ventricle (Fig. 3); however, fat infiltration of the ventricles is currently only a major criterion for diagnosis of RV on cardiac biopsy. MRI can detect right ventricular dilatation and aneurysm formation (Figs. 7 9), as well as wall-motion abnormalities including right ventricular dyskinesia, a corrugated pattern to the right ventricular wall known as the accordion sign (Figs ). Focal left ventricular dyskinesia can also be present in the setting of fatty infiltration within the left ventricle. MRI is also very useful in the evaluation of myocardial fibrosis and scarring (Fig. 14). The black blood spin-echo sequences provide excellent anatomic detail and are the most important for the detection of fat in the right ventricular myocardium. The bright blood TrueFISP cine is useful for evaluation of wall motion abnormalities and ventricular size, and STIR sequences null the fat. More recently, delayed right ventricular myocardial enhancement on gadolinium-enhanced inversion recovery sequences has been used to confirm the presence of myocardial fibrosis [12]. Late left ventricular enhancement has also been described in patients with RV [13]. Suppression of arrhythmias plays a role in adequate EG triggering and optimization of image acquisition. Treatment Treatment of RV aims to prevent sudden cardiac death. Treatment options include avoidance of strenuous exercise and competitive sports or training, β blockade, antiarrhythmic medications, catheter ablation [14], implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy [15], and cardiac transplant. The optimal treatment technique depends on the individual patient, and no one therapy is correct for every patient [16]. Further research in treatment options, as well as maintenance of international patient registries, is vital for future risk stratification and optimization of treatment of patients with RV. cknowledgments We thank Niall Mulligan for the pathological image and description included in this article and John O Dea for his assistance with obtaining the electroanatomic voltage map.
