Comparison of 2-dimensional (2-D) echocardiographic and right ventricular (RV) angiographic findings was performed in 10 @entity1 with @entity4128 . Diagnosis was based on accepted electrocardiographic and angiographic criteria. Nine @entity1 underwent invasive electrophysiologic study, which confirmed RV source of @entity1165 ( @entity1165 ) in 7. Biopsy findings of @entity4266 were available in 3 @entity1 . Two-dimensional echocardiography and angiography corresponded closely when @entity4266 and @entity2845 were present. Such diffuse findings were not invariably present. @entity854 consisting of bulging or sacculation of the RV wall were noted by both techniques, even in the absence of diffuse changes. Echocardiographic evidence of localized disease predicted the presence of similar lesions at angiography, but agreement as to specific location was poor. Subjectivity in interpreting @entity4266 by either technique and the inherent differences in information provided by the 2 methods probably account for the inconsistencies. In the @entity1 with suspected @entity4128 , 2-D echocardiographic evidence of @entity4266 , otherwise unexplained, strongly supports the diagnosis and angiography may be avoided. Isolated local changes seen by echocardiography should increase suspicion of @entity4266 , but complementary angiographic study is warranted.
