Abstract: The article focuses on a study which compared arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) Diagnostic Task Force Criteria (TFC) in 1994 and a new proposed criteria. The newly proposed criteria contains terminal activation duration of QRS, ventricular tachycardia with left bundle-branch block morphology and superior axis and genetic criteria. Study authors concluded that the new TFC affects the increasing diagnostic yield of ARVD/C.
