Aneq MA, et al. - The researchers evaluated right ventricular (RV) regional and global systolic function using feature tracking (FT) in patients with a definite diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Furthermore, they examined whether changes in strain amplitude and mechanical dispersion indicated a propensity for arrhythmia. Lower longitudinal absolute strain amplitude in basal RV segments and increased mechanical dispersion were observed among ARVC patients compared to healthy volunteers. However, the presence of mechanical dispersion was not predictive of ventricular arrhythmia.
