Serial TDI may track RV deterioration in ARVC; leaves open prognostic value and management impact.
How do echocardiographic parameters measured by Tissue Doppler Imaging change over long-term follow-up in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy?
Tissue Doppler imaging demonstrates progressive right ventricular abnormalities and early left ventricular involvement over long-term follow-up in patients with ARVC.
