Figure 1 Echocardiographic views from probands meeting Task Force Criteria for arrhythmogenic right ventricular (RV) dysplasia. (A) Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) enlargement from the parasternal long axis view, (B) RVOT enlargement from the parasternal short axis view, (C) apical four-chamber view showing a focal RV apical aneurysm (arrows), (D) apical four-chamber view showing excessive trabeculations (arrows), and (E) apical four-chamber view showing a hyperreflective moderator band (arrow). AoV = aortic valve; LA = left atrium; LV = left ventricle; RA = right atrium.
