Combined Use of Voltage Mapping and Speckle-tracking Analysis for the Characterization of Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy: A Case Report

A 38-year-old man was admitted to our hospital after ventricular tachycardia. Endocardial bipolar and unipolar voltage mapping were performed and findings were integrated with data from intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) right ventricular (RV) speckle-tracking analysis. A reduction in the strain an...

Sumario:A 38-year-old man was admitted to our hospital after ventricular tachycardia. Endocardial bipolar and unipolar voltage mapping were performed and findings were integrated with data from intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) right ventricular (RV) speckle-tracking analysis. A reduction in the strain analysis was stored in correspondence of the fragmented electrogram area. The definitive diagnosis was arrhythmogenic RV cardiomyopathy (ARVC). The integration of ICE-derived RV strain and voltage mapping could represent a successful strategy to improve the results of ablation in ARVC.
