Athlete's Heart or Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy: Contribution of Exercise Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR)

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 60 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Rennes University Hospital · Academic / Other

• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

Prospective, nonrandomized, single-center, comparative study to define if right ventricular (RV) contractile reserve assessed by exercise CMR helps to improve the differential diagnosis between pathological and physiological remodeling of the RV; ie. arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and athlete's heart.

Detailed description

Comparison of the RV contractile reserve in 4 groups of patients: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) patients; endurance athletes with a dilated RV, endurance athletes with normal RV, untrained subject with normal RV. Patients will come to the hospital for 3 visits (3 half days): * Visit 1: clinical evaluation, rest ECG, rest echocardiography, cardio-pulmonary exercise test. * Visit 2: exercise echocardiography, holter ECG monitor (48 yours) * Visit 3: rest CMR and exercise CMR (ergocycle)
