Left ventricular involvement was present in 52.4% of patients with ARVD/C and strongly correlated with right ventricular wall motion abnormalities (r=0.72, P=0.02).

LV involvement common in ARVD/C may indicate broader disease; leaves open prognostic value and need for prospective validation.
Cohort (n=21)
No
Left ventricular involvement is common (52.4%) in ARVD/C and is strongly associated with moderate to severe right ventricular abnormalities on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
Ghannudi et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) (n=21). Left ventricular involvement vs. No left ventricular involvement was evaluated on Frequency of left ventricular involvement. Left ventricular involvement was present in 52.4% of patients with ARVD/C and strongly correlated with right ventricular wall motion abnormalities (r=0.72, P=0.02).
