What is Left Ventricular Involvement in Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy about?

## Abstract ## Background Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is not an isolated RV disease. Left ventricular (LV) or biventricular involvement is being increasingly diagnosed in such patients. There is available research to show that the LV peak strain calculated from feature tracking (FT) cardiac MRI is impaired even before the impairment of function. If present, such involvement is an adverse prognostic marker. ## Purpose The aim of this study is to calculate LV involvement in patients with ARVC using FT cardiac MRI. ## Methods 27 patients of ARVC who underwent cardiac MRI with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in our department were identified. 10 healthy volunteers (controls) were also assessed using non-contrast cardiac MRI. LV strain analysis was performed using Cvi42 Circle cardiovascular imaging software; and global LV peak radial, circumferential and longitudinal strain values were calculated. Patients were divided into two sub groups: those with preserved LV ejection fraction (LVEF) and those with reduced LVEF. Peak LV strain values were compared between the two groups of ARVC patients; and between ARVC patients with preserved LVEF and healthy voluntee
