Supports refined ECG criteria for suspected cases; extends 2010 Task Force Criteria but leaves open need for prospective validation.
Do new electrocardiographic criteria improve the diagnosis of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy?
The revised 2010 Task Force Criteria incorporate new, highly sensitive and specific ECG parameters like prolonged terminal activation duration and specific VT morphologies, significantly improving the early diagnosis of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.
Hauer et al. (2012) conducted a review in Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC). New electrocardiographic criteria (2010 Task Force Criteria) vs. 1994 Task Force Criteria was evaluated. New electrocardiographic criteria, including prolonged terminal activation duration and specific ventricular tachycardia morphologies, improve the diagnostic sensitivity for arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.
