How does CE-CMR compare to EVM in identifying ventricular scar lesions in ARVC patients?
While CE-CMR is less sensitive than EVM for detecting RV scars in ARVC, it is highly relevant for detecting frequent left ventricular involvement.
EVM and CE-CMR allow identification of RV scar lesions in most ARVC patients. CE-CMR is less sensitive than EVM in identifying RV scar lesions. The high prevalence of LV DCE confirms the frequent biventricular involvement and indicates the diagnostic relevance of LV scar detection by CE-CMR.
