Abstract
The endocardial substrate for ventricular arrhythmias in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasiacardiomyopathy ARVDC is thought to be caused by a progressive degenerative process. Many clinical decisions and treatment plans are guided by this pathophysiologic assumption, but the extent of progression of macroscopic endocardial scar and right ventricular RV dilatation have not been assessed.
