Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the predictive accuracy of trabecular hypertrophy/derangement and late gadolinium enhancement in predicting diagnosis of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC). Materials & methods: Fifty-nine suspected AC patients were evaluated. To evaluate the ability of these markers to detect patients fulfilling definite diagnosis at 4-year follow-up, sensitivity (Se), specificity (Sp), positive and negative predictive value (PPV and NPV) and predictive accuracy (PA) were calculated. Results: Presence of trabecular hypertrophy/derangement showed high NPV, while late gadolinium enhancement at cardiac MRI high Sp, NPV and PA. Their combination with symptoms and/or revised Task Force Criteria showed a high Sp, NPV and PA for definitive diagnosis during follow-up. Conclusion: In suspected AC patients, the absence of these markers allows to identify those with lower risk of disease progression.

Quantitative assessment of systolic and diastolic right ventricular function by echocardiography and speckle-tracking imaging: a prospective study in 104 dogs. J Vet Sci 2018; 19:683-692. [PMID: 30041288 PMCID: PMC6167344 DOI: 10.4142/jvs.2018.19.5.683] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2018] [Revised: 06/16/2018] [Accepted: 06/25/2018] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Our aim was (1) to determine the within-day and between-day variability of several indices of systolic and diastolic right ventricular (RV) function by using conventional echocardiography and speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) (Study 1), (2) to quantify these variables in a large healthy canine population (n = 104) with Doppler-derived estimated systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (SPAP) and left ventricular (LV) function, and (3) to establish the corresponding reference intervals (Study 2). For both studies, RV variables included tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), right fractional area change (RFAC), STE longitudinal systolic strain (StS) of the RV free wall (RVFW) and of the entire RV (i.e., global RV StS), STE longitudinal systolic RVFW strain rate (SRS), and the diastolic early:late strain rate ratio. All but one within- and between-day coefficients of variation (13/14) were < 15%, the lowest being observed for TAPSE (3.6–9.8%), global RV StS (3.8–9.9%), and RVFW StS (3.7–7.3%). SPAP was weakly and negatively correlated with the TAPSE:body weight ratio (rs = −0.26, p = 0.01) and RVFW SRS (rs = −0.23, p < 0.05). Reference intervals (lower and upper limits with 90% confidence intervals) were provided for all variables. STE provides a non-invasive evaluation of RV function that may be used for clinical investigations in canine cardiology.

Abstract
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is the most common phenotype described within the spectrum of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies. It usually presents in early adolescence with severe ventricular arrhythmias along with cardiac structural and functional alterations mainly of the right ventricular myocardium. Though the estimated prevalence of ARVC in the general population is only 1:5000, it represents one of the most common causes of juvenile sudden death. However, detection of early RV dysfunction in ARVC may be challenging requiring high clinical suspicion and an algorithmic approach. A thorough family history of juvenile sudden death, ventricular arrhythmias and ICD implants should always be sought. Diagnosis usually requires electrocardiographic interpretation as well as cardiac imaging. In this article, the key diagnostic steps in the assessment of ARVC and diagnostic red flags that aid its differential diagnosis are discussed.

Abstract
Intense exercise may cause heart remodeling to compensate increases in blood pressure or volume by increasing muscle mass. Cardiac changes do not involve only the left ventricle, but all heart chambers. Physiological cardiac modeling in athletes is associated with normal or enhanced cardiac function, but recent studies have documented decrements in left ventricular function during intense exercise and the release of cardiac markers of necrosis in athlete's blood of uncertain significance. Furthermore, cardiac remodeling may predispose athletes to heart disease and result in electrical remodeling, responsible for arrhythmias. Athlete's heart is a physiological condition and does not require a specific treatment. In some conditions, it is important to differentiate the physiological adaptations from pathological conditions, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic dysplasia of the right ventricle, and non-compaction myocardium, for the greater risk of sudden cardiac death of these conditions. Moreover, some drugs and performance-enhancing drugs can cause structural alterations and arrhythmias, therefore, their use should be excluded.
