It may also occur in patients with underlying coronary disease, cardiomyopathy, and/or with digoxin toxicity. Riera ARP, et al: AIVR: Chronology and Main Discoveries : Indian Pacing and EP Journal 10: 40-48, 2010. On rare occasions — AIVR may occur intermittently in otherwise healthy subjects without underlying heart disease.

Overall CMR findings are consistent with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. Here is a 2017 review article on ARVD in the New England Journal There is a 2010 publication by the Task Force in Diagnosis of ARVD: Diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia: proposed modification of the task force criteria.

BACKGROUND:Imaging evaluation of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) remains challenging. ARVC prevalence by 2010 ARVC Revised Task Force Criteria is 91/109 (83%) and 83/99 (84%) in those with RV strain measurements.

In addition — there seemed to be significant fragmentation ( excessive notching of the QRS ) — which usually is indication of underlying "scar" from infarction, cardiomyopathy, or other form of underlying structural disease. The patient's younger brother was also diagnosed with "a cardiomyopathy". MRI confirmed ARVC.

Study design We performed a retrospective evaluation of pregnant patients with high-risk CVD who delivered in the main OR at a large academic centre between January 2010 and March 2021. Results Of 25 deliveries, connective tissue disease (n=9, 36%) was the most common CVD type, followed by non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy (n=5, 20%).

Background:Clinical and genetic predispositions are significant in predicting atrial fibrillation (AF); however, their role in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) remains unclear. The cohort comprised 500,543 individuals: 1,361 diagnosed with and 499,182 without HCM.
