Early detection of right atrial dysfunction assessed by MR-feature tracking in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy

Key Points

Right atrial dysfunction was detected using MR-feature tracking, highlighting its diagnostic ability.
The analysis included a significant number of patients, revealing detailed dysfunction metrics.

Structured PICO

Does MR-feature tracking detect early right atrial dysfunction in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy?

P

Population

Patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC)

I

Intervention

MR-feature tracking (MR-FT)

O

Outcome

Right atrial (RA) dysfunction (reservoir, conduit, and booster function)surrogate

MR-feature tracking can detect early right atrial dysfunction in ARVC patients before volume changes occur.

Abstract

Patients with ARVC exhibit impaired RA reservoir, conduit, and booster function even with normal RA volumes. MR-FT may serve as a promising approach for detecting early RA dysfunction in this population.
