Risk Stratification, Early Prevention and Treatment Strategies for Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy (STARTER)

Risk Stratification, Early Prevention and Treatment Strategies for Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy (STARTER): a Multicenter Retro-prospective Cohort Study

This study will include patients diagnosed with Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi 'an Jiaotong University and other centers, and collect clinical data and biological samples of patients with different ACM phenotypes. Through the establishment of disease cohort and long-term follow-up, to explore the disease characteristics, development law, clinical characteristics, natural course of disease and long-term prognosis of ACM.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Right ventricular ACM group
The patients mainly had right ventricular enlargement and right ventricular fibrous adipose tissue replacement, and were diagnosed with right ventricular ACM.
Definite ACM diagnosis is based on the consensus-based 2010 Task Force Criteria, which include major and minor criteria in six categories (depolarization and repolarization abnormalities, arrhythmia, imaging, histology, and family history/genetics). Among these, repolarization abnormalities (T-wave inversion in the precordial leads) constitute the most commonly observed, followed by frequent premature ventricular complex. With regards to imaging techniques, both the presence of wall motion abnormalities and an abnormal ventricular volume or function are required for fulfilment. Definite ACM consists of two major criteria or one major and two minor criteria or four minor criteria from different categories. Borderline ACM consists of one major and one minor criterion or three minor criteria from different categories.
Left ventricular ACM group
The patients mainly had left ventricular enlargement and left ventricular fibroadipose tissue replacement, and were diagnosed with left ventricular ACM.
Definite ACM diagnosis is based on the consensus-based 2010 Task Force Criteria, which include major and minor criteria in six categories (depolarization and repolarization abnormalities, arrhythmia, imaging, histology, and family history/genetics). Among these, repolarization abnormalities (T-wave inversion in the precordial leads) constitute the most commonly observed, followed by frequent premature ventricular complex. With regards to imaging techniques, both the presence of wall motion abnormalities and an abnormal ventricular volume or function are required for fulfilment. Definite ACM consists of two major criteria or one major and two minor criteria or four minor criteria from different categories. Borderline ACM consists of one major and one minor criterion or three minor criteria from different categories.
Biventricular ACM group
The patients mainly had biventricular enlargement and fibroadipose tissue replacement, and were diagnosed with biventricular ventricular ACM.
Definite ACM diagnosis is based on the consensus-based 2010 Task Force Criteria, which include major and minor criteria in six categories (depolarization and repolarization abnormalities, arrhythmia, imaging, histology, and family history/genetics). Among these, repolarization abnormalities (T-wave inversion in the precordial leads) constitute the most commonly observed, followed by frequent premature ventricular complex. With regards to imaging techniques, both the presence of wall motion abnormalities and an abnormal ventricular volume or function are required for fulfilment. Definite ACM consists of two major criteria or one major and two minor criteria or four minor criteria from different categories. Borderline ACM consists of one major and one minor criterion or three minor criteria from different categories.
