The diagnosisThis is a case of ARVC is based on the presence of two major and minor criteria according to the revised Padua criteria (upgraded 2010 International Task Force).1:

In this case, there are two major criteria (according to the Padua criteria1):

  1. severe right ventricular dilation (dyskinetic(RV-EDVI > 100 mL/m2) with akinetic and akineticdyskinetic bulging segments of the right ventricular free wall
  2. transmural late gadolinium enhancement in ≥1 right ventricular region

The case is presented together with my colleagues: Anikin A., Barskiy V. and Basargina E.
