Abstract
Congenital abnormalities of the right ventricular (RV) myocardium are rare and include arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D) and Uhl’s anomaly. Though rare, ARVC/D frequently appears in the differential diagnosis of patients with ventricular arrhythmia. We discuss magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) imaging techniques and various aspects of congenital abnormalities of the RV myocardium with special focus on ARVC/D.
