There are discrepancies in the quantitative echocardiographic criteria for the right ventricle (RV) between the revised task force criteria (TFC) for Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy/Dysplasia (ARVC/D) and the guidelines for RV assessment endorsed by American Society of Echocardiography (ASE). Importantly, these criteria do not take into account potential adaptation of the RV to exercise. The goal of this study was to compare the revised TFC quantitative echocardiographic parameters in patients with ARVC/D, athletes and matched controls.
