ARVCsGF

The most comprehensive review of ARVCs was presented at the ECAS Paris meeting 2011 that you can access by clicking on ECAS in the right column. This blog can be also useful to report the discussions about some critical cases or concepts discussed during the ARVD Staff of La Salpetriere which is organized each month to review all the cases of ARVCs seen during the preceding period. This staff gathers 12-15 clinicians and scientists who have some expertise in the management of these patients.

Welcome

Welcome to you, interested in ARVCs which represents a wide spectrum of diseases poorly recognised diagnosed and treated.
This is related to the complexity of this new category of cardiomyopathies in which some have been known under a different name.
Nowadays, I think it is timely to put them in the same basket under the name of "ARVCs" to concentrate the expertise of many investigators interested in only one aspect of these diseases which have more or less some features in common the first being that they are involving the Right Ventricle !

Being also the founder of the unique style of Calligraphic Painting and Drawing I have illustrated this blog with some of my 2300 recorded pieces of art.

It should be interesting to know if the area of adipocytes is located in the mediomural layers ?

It should be also interesting to know presence of small vesel disease in RV as well as LV and the structure of the media with special respect on the orientation of leyomyocytes ?

I heard several time from Dr Fontaine that this aspect is also observed in typical HCM.
I would like to know if there is any molecular biology explanation for this phenomenon which represent another aspect of the common final pathways of cardiomyopathies and to have the opinion of Jeff Towbin !

I have seen an abstract dealing with this subject but I am not aware of any published paper !

Why the Term of Dysplasia ?

The term of Dysplasia is based on "plasia" which in Latin means "fabrication".
The equivalent term is "Dystrophy" which has a greek root which means "growth".
I was convinced even before to see the 27 weeks old fetus that the disease can start in the embryo and therefore the term of "Dysplasia" looked to me better than "Dystrophy".

However, "dys" has a greek root which means "abnormal", as abnormal in latin is "dis" the real proper term would have been "Displasia" instead of "Dysplasia". However, as said by William C Roberts, the term of dysplasia has been used for more than 30 years and "... is probably here to stay".

Finally the term of Dysplasia came from my knowledge of Greek and Latin roots of western words learned at high school in Paris. Up to now none of those who have proposed a different name seems to have had the same high school training...
