Figure 2. Echocardiographic assessment of an athlete with right ventricle remodelling (Figure 2: A, B, C); and a patient with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia in early stage (Figure 2: D, E, F).
Patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia in early stage can present only mild RV dilatation but the relationship between LV and RV cavity tend to be less than 1 and the RVOT is at least mildly dilated and they present reduced RV global and segmental strain values as compared to athletes.
