Key result
Electron microscopy in right ventricular dysplasia revealed abnormal, attenuated intercalated discs with decreased Z band material in both ventricles, which may aid in diagnosing ARVD.
Why the study?
Does electron microscopy identify specific histological abnormalities useful for diagnosing right ventricular dysplasia?

May aid histological ARVD diagnosis in select cases; hypothesis-generating from one report and requires validation before clinical use.
Case Report (n=8)
Does electron microscopy identify specific histological abnormalities useful for diagnosing right ventricular dysplasia?
Electron microscopy identifies previously unreported intercalated disc abnormalities in ARVD, which may aid in its histological diagnosis.
C Guiraudon (1989) conducted a case report in Right ventricular dysplasia (n=8). Electron microscopy was evaluated on Histological and ultrastructural changes. Electron microscopy in right ventricular dysplasia revealed abnormal, attenuated intercalated discs with decreased Z band material in both ventricles, which may aid in diagnosing ARVD.
