"MRI may show fatty infiltration in the right ventricle (and occasionally in the left ventricle) ⁸, but this can also be seen in normal myocardium ³ and is no longer part of the diagnostic criteria ⁹. A corrugated pattern to the right ventricular wall may be seen, known as the “accordion sign.”"

There Is

suggestion

"The estimated population prevalence is thought to range around 1 in 1000-5000 ⁸. It typically presents in young individuals. There is a recognised male predilection, with a male-to-female ratio of 2.7:1. Several reports suggest that there is a familial occurrence of ARVC of about 30-50%, with mainly autosomal dominant inheritance, variable penetrance, and polymorphic phenotypic expression."
