Key result
MR imaging combining cine and T1-weighted sequences showed moderate correlation (r = 0.58) with clinical criteria for diagnosing arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in pediatric patients.
Why the study?
Does MR imaging correlate with clinical diagnostic criteria for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in pediatric patients?
Cross-Sectional (n=26)
Does MR imaging correlate with clinical diagnostic criteria for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in pediatric patients?
Effect estimate: r = 0.58
MR imaging using a combination of cine and T1 sequences shows moderate correlation with clinical criteria and biopsy for diagnosing arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in pediatric patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Should not yet change pediatric ARVC diagnosis; leaves open utility of combined MR sequences pending validation.
Aviram et al. (2003) conducted a cross-sectional in Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (n=26). MR imaging (cine and T1-weighted sequences) vs. Clinical diagnostic criteria including biopsy was evaluated on Correlation between MR findings and clinical diagnostic criteria (r = 0.58). MR imaging combining cine and T1-weighted sequences showed moderate correlation (r = 0.58) with clinical criteria for diagnosing arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in pediatric patients.
