To fulfill these criteria, presence of both electrocardiographic and anatomical abnormalities must be assessed with ECG and imaging techniques, respectively. This may be difficult in patients with early\/mild forms of the disease as detectable structural abnormalities may still be absent. We evaluated in which patients presenting with right ventricular tachycardia (VT) serial reevaluation for ARVD\/C is indicated.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Methods and Results:<\/jats:italic> Sixty consecutive patients (41 men, mean age 40\u00b115 years) were evaluated by the TF criteria for possible ARVD\/C because of presentation with a left bundle branch block (LBBB) VT, representing 1 minor criterion. The presence on the ECG of a T\u2010wave inversion beyond lead V2 (1 minor), right precordial QRS prolongation (1 major), or an epsilon wave (1 major) was assessed together with the visualization of severe regional\/global right ventricle dysfunction (1 major) or mild segmental dilatation\/regional hypokinesia (1 minor) by standard imaging techniques. Initially, 22 (37%) patients were diagnosed as having ARVD\/C. After 47\u00b139 (range 6\u2013146) months, 23 initially TF\u2010negative patients were reevaluated because of recurrent symptoms, with 12 (52%) additional patients now meeting the TF criteria. Eleven of these 12 (92%) patients presented initially with ECG abnormalities only, but developed structural abnormalities on imaging at follow\u2010up.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Conclusion:<\/jats:italic> ECG abnormalities may precede structural abnormalities warranting serial reevaluation for ARVD\/C in initially TF\u2010negative patients presenting with LBBB VT with only ECG abnormalities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8167.2006.00442.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,3,24]],"date-time":"2006-03-24T10:07:39Z","timestamp":1143194859000},"page":"586-593","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Serial Reevaluation for ARVD\/C Is Indicated in Patients Presenting with Left Bundle Branch Block Ventricular Tachycardia and Minor ECG Abnormalities"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"PHILIPPINE","family":"KI\u00c8S","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"MARIANNE","family":"BOOTSMA","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"JEROEN J.","family":"BAX","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"KATJA","family":"ZEPPENFELD","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"LIESELOT","family":"Van ERVEN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"MAURITS C.","family":"WIJFFELS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ERNST E.","family":"Van Der WALL","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"MARTIN J.","family":"SCHALIJ","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,3,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.93.5.841"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.65.2.384"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8159.1998.tb01116.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM198801213180301"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"215","DOI":"10.1136\/hrt.71.3.215","article-title":"Diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia\/cardiomyopathy.
