OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this study was to quantify the echocardiographic abnormalities in probands who were newly diagnosed with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD). BACKGROUND The diagnosis of ARVD remains challenging. The Multidisciplinary Study of Right Ventricular Dysplasia was initiated to characterize the cardiac structural, clinical, and genetic aspects of ARVD

La sindrome del cuore sinistro ipoplasico è caratterizzata da un ventricolo sinistro piccolo, talvolta virtuale, stenosi critica o atresia delle valvole aortica e/o della mitrale e ipoplasia dell’aorta ascendente e dell’arco dell’aorta, atrio sinistro piccolo,coartazione dell’aorta che è la malformazione associata più frequente. Rappresenta circa 1% di tutte le malformazioni cardiache congenite e, se non trattata, ha la più alta mortalità nel primo mese di vita.
