It is characterized by hypokinetic areas involving the free wall of the ventricle, with fibrofatty replacement of the myocardium, with associated arrhythmias often originating in the right ventricle. The nomenclature ARVD is currently thought to be inappropriate and misleading as ACM does not involve dysplasia of the ventricular wall.
A diagram showing the downward displacement of the tricuspid valve from its normal position in the fibrous ring down into the right ventricle. While Ebstein's anomaly is defined as the congenital displacement of the tricuspid valve towards the apex of the right ventricle, it is often associated with other abnormalities. [citation needed]
Uhl anomaly – Partial or total loss of the right ventricular wall. Ventricular septal defect (VSD) – Defect in the ventricular septum that permits blood flow between ventricles. Diseases of blood vessels – diseases of the blood vessels can be multidisciplinary in nature. For example, medical treatment of atherosclerosis tends to be ...
Myocardial perfusion imaging or scanning (also referred to as MPI or MPS) is a nuclear medicine procedure that illustrates the function of the heart muscle (). [1]It evaluates many heart conditions, such as coronary artery disease (CAD), [2] hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and heart wall motion abnormalities.
Stress causes alterations of cerebral circulation, increasing blood flow in the supramarginal gyrus and angular gyrus of the parietal lobe, the frontal lobe, and the superior temporal gyrus of the left hemisphere. Also, an increase in cardiac activity and change in the tonus of the heart vessels occurs, which is an elementary indication of ...
Ventricular remodeling may include ventricular hypertrophy, ventricular dilation, cardiomegaly, and other changes. It is an aspect of cardiomyopathy , of which there are many types. Concentric hypertrophy is due to pressure overload , while eccentric hypertrophy is due to volume overload .

Romano–Ward syndrome increases the risk of abnormal heart rhythms or arrhythmias.These are typically a form of ventricular tachycardia known as Torsades de pointes which can cause faints, seizures, or even sudden death. [1]
