AICD M S Marcus et al report from ARVC registry Treatment for patients with ARVC JACC 54:609 2010 • Early drug trials involved small groups with different follow up periods • 95 pts with well documented ARVC were treated with drugs at the discretion of the treating physician and followed for 1.3 years • Cohorts were inhomogeneous and involved those with sustained and • Sotalol was used in 38 pts and beta‐blockers in 58 separate pts. Amio unsustained VT was used in 10 • Wichter et al used serial EP testing in 81 pts with ARVC and • Results Sotalol (in doses of 160‐320)were equivalent to beta‐blockers “established” the efficacy of Sotalol (320‐480)for these patients in efficacy while Amiodarone proved most effective 1

Measurements including RVOT in parasternal long axis (PLAX) • We hypothesize that preload reducing therapy in patients with ARVC Proximal RVOT diameter in short axis (PSAX), RV‐end diastolic area (RVEDA), will slow progression of RV failure. fractional area change (FAC), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) • One of the main predictors of RVEF on CMR was found to be RV were performed in accordance with American Society of Echocardiography guidelines. All measurements were performed by one physician. Global Longitudinal Strain (RVGLS) on TTE • An independent experienced research sonographer blinded to treatment date performed strain analysis twice on all available echocardiograms. • Statistical analysis performed using paired t‐test.
