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.
Uhl anomaly is a rare cardiac malformation that was first identified by Dr. Henry Uhl in 1952. It is characterized by the absence of the right ventricle (RV) myocardium, either entirely or partially, and the replacement of the RV myocardium by nonfunctional fibroelastic tissue that resembles parchment.

Right atrial enlargement (RAE) is clinically significant due to its prevalence in diagnosing supraventricular arrhythmias. Further, early diagnosis using risk factors like RAE may decrease mortality because patients with RAE are at 9x more risk of arrhythmias and other cardiac conditions compared to their healthy counterparts.

The 2018 European Society of Cardiology/American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association/World Health Federation Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction for the ECG diagnosis of the ST segment elevation type of acute myocardial infarction require new ST elevation at J point of at least 1mm (0.1 mV) in two contiguous leads with the cut-points: ≥1 mm in all leads ...
Due to this, and the fact that the left ventricle in normal conditions contract with a relatively invariant outer contour, [8] [9] the longitudinal strain contains the main information, while transmural strain (wall thickening) is a function of wall shortening, wall thickness and chamber diameter, while circumferential shortening is mainly a ...
Echocardiography can be used to directly visualise right ventricular wall thickness. The preferred technique is the trans-oesophageal approach giving a view of 4 chambers. The normal thickness of a right ventricular free wall ranges from 2-5 millimetres, with a value above 5 mm considered to be hypertrophic. [10]
Magnesium is an important mineral that affects the body’s muscle and nerve function, as well as multiple other body functions. Experts are interested in how magnesium may affect cardiovascular ...
Bernheim syndrome is believed to be the rightward shift of the ventricular septum compressing the right ventricle without causing pulmonary congestion. [3] This was first described by Hippolyte Bernheim in which he presented 10 patients with signs and symptoms of right sided heart failure whose postmortem autospy reveals a ventricular septum that invaded the right ventricle space.
