This book covers all aspects (biological, pathological, genetics, clinical and therapeutical) of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia, a recent cardiomyopathy which represents a very high risk of sudden death in the young and in athletes. The monograph presents the results of 5-year research program on ARVC/D supported by grants of both the European Commission and the NIH, which enabled the discovery of seven disease-causing genes, thus opening new avenues for the early identification of affected patients and for sudden death prevention. A panel of top scientists, both European and Americans, contributed to this volume, which will be an essential reference for professionals and residents in cardiology, radiology, human genetics, and sport medicine. TOC:Introduction.- Advances in genetics: dominant forms.- Advances in genetics: recessive forms.- Genotype-phenotype correlations.- Autopsy and endomyocardial biopsy findings.- Cell adhesion pathology.- Ultrastructural substrates.- Transgenic animal models.- Spontaneous animal models.- Possible causative or contributing role of viruses.- Diagnosis: Task Force Criteria including modifications for family members.- Strengths and weaknesses of the Task Force Criteria: proposed modifications.- Idiopathic right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia.- Electrocardiographic manifestations.- Echocardiography.- MR and CT imaging.- Diagnostic role of angiography.- Electrophysiologic study including electroanatomic mapping.- Risk stratification and antiarrhythmic drug therapy and .- Catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia.- The role of the implantable cardiac defibrillator in the management.- Management of heart failure.- Sudden death in young athletes. eBook Springer PDF, Springer, 05.11.2007, Springer, 2007<

This book covers all the recent research highlights of arrhythmogenic right ventr- ular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D), a recently discovered heart muscle d- ease which is a major threat to the life of affected young people.It summarizes ne- ly 25 years of investigation on the etiology, genetics, pathology, clinical features, - agnosis, and treatment of ARVC/D.In particular, a 5-year research program supported by grants from both the European Community and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institutes has contributed to the discovery of seven disease-causing genes, thus opening new avenues for the early identification of affected patients and prevention of sudden death.A Workshop was held in Venice, Italy, October 3, 2005, as part of the Venice - rhythmia Meeting, where the European and American investigators presented and discussed several major achievements which are now reported in this book.As a - sult of these coordinated efforts, great advances have been made in the recognition and understanding of the disease, which are summarized in this book.; PDF; Scientific, Technical and Medical > Pre-clinical medicine: basic sciences > Physiology > Cellular ph, Springer Milan<
