Implication

New TFC may increase ARVD/C diagnoses in probable cases and families; leaves open prospective outcome validation.

Structured PICO

Does the application of newly proposed Task Force Criteria improve the diagnostic yield of ARVD/C compared to the 1994 criteria in patients suspected of ARVD/C and their family members?

P
Population
233 individuals comprising 3 groups: (1) 105 patients with proven ARVD/C according to 1994 TFC, (2) 89 of their family members, and (3) 39 patients with probable ARVD/C (3 points by 1994 TFC).
I
Intervention
Newly proposed international Task Force Criteria (TFC) for ARVD/C diagnosis
C
Comparator
1994 Task Force Criteria (TFC)
O
Outcome
Diagnostic yield of ARVD/Csurrogate

The newly proposed Task Force Criteria significantly increase the diagnostic yield for ARVD/C, particularly among probable cases and family members, driven by updated ECG and genetic criteria.
