Table 2.

Quantitative standard and advanced echocardiographic parameters (with respective cut-off points) recommended in patients with suspected or ascertained AC

Parameter Abnormal if:
PLAX RVOT (mm)a ≥29
PLAX RVOT index (mm/m2)a ≥16
PSAX RVOT (mm)a ≥32
PSAX RVOT index (mm2)a ≥18
RV basal diameter (mm) >41
RV fractional area change (%)a ≤40
TAPSE (mm) <17
RV longitudinal strain of lateral RV free wall (%) Worse than −23
RV mechanical dispersion (SD of time-to-peak strain) (ms) >25–30b
3D RV-EF (%) ≤40
LV GLS (%) Worse than −18

aMinor criteria from the TFC 2010.

bThree-segment model and six-segment model.

EF, ejection fraction; GLS, global longitudinal strain; LV, left ventricular; PLAX RVOT, parasternal long-axis right ventricular outflow tract; PSAX RVOT, parasternal short-axis right ventricular outflow tract; RV, right ventricle; TAPSE, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion.
