Description
Summary:(1) describe the accordion sign in family members of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) probands as a promising tool for the early diagnosis of the disease. Besides this qualitative feature, which also was seen in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT)/subtricuspid region, they also mention that quantitative right ventricular parameters tended to be abnormal in those with >=1 criteria point in their reclassified approach.
