Presentation was changed:
Arrhythmia, exercise intolerance, dyspnea. Triquspid annuloplasty 2 years agoat age of 9 month.
Body was changed:

There are multiple aneurysms of anterior wall in middle part of RV, which refers to structural abnormality of myocardium. RV ejection fraction 14%. There is also susceptibility artifact in tricuspid valve. RV apex contracts normal and does not have abnormal contrast enhancement.

T1can show cardial wall fat replacement in late stages of disease, but in this case there is only epicardial fat proliferation without reliable feature of intramyocardial fat.

The diagnosis of ARVC is based on the presence of major and minor criteria according to the revised Padua criteria (upgraded 2010 International Task Force).

In this case there are two major criteria:

1) dys/akynesis with aneurysmsaneurysmal RV walls

 +   RV EDV/BSA 189mL/m2 (>100 mL/m2)

2))QRS=120ms

Also transmural contrast enhancement ofnoted in ≥1 RV region in delayed images.
