What are the possibilities if you have an abnormal mri what looks like arvc but all genetics test come back normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most unknown: Gene mutations are detectible in 30 to 40 % of people with ARVC. The majority are not. You need to be followed by a cardiologist familiar with the condition, and a clinical geneticist who can check to see when new causes are found. You need serial cardiac ultrasonography and ECGs to check for deterioating right ventricular function. t
