| Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia Diagnostic Criteria |
The MedCalc 3000 module Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia Diagnostic Criteria is available in MedCalc 3000 Complete Edition.
This calculator evaluates the following Clinical Criteria:
- Severe dilatation and reduction of right ventricular ejection fraction with minimal or no LV impairment
- Localized right ventricular aneurysms
- Severe right ventricular segmental dilatation
- Endomyocardial biopsy with fibrofatty replacement changes
- Epsilon waves or localised prolongation (>110ms) of the QRS complex in right precordial leads (V1-V3)
- Familial disease confirmed at necropsy or surgery
- Mild global right ventricular dilatation and/or ejection fraction reduction with normal left ventricle
- Mild segmental dilatation of the right ventricle
- Regional right ventricular hypokinesia
- Inverted T waves in right precordial leads (V2 and V3) (people aged > 12years, in absence of right bundle branch block)
- Late potentials (signal averaged ECG)
- Left bundle branch block type ventricular tachycardia (sustained and nonsustained) ECG, Holter, exercise testing
- Frequent ventricular extrasystoles (>1000/24 hours) (Holter)
- Familial history of premature sudden death (<35 years) due to suspected right ventricular dysplasia
- Familial history (clinical diagnosis based on present criteria)
