Abstract
RV chamber dimensions are larger in endurance athletes than those described by “normal ranges” and frequently meet the major criteria for the diagnosis of arrhythmogenic RV cardiomyopathy. Functional assessment of RV ε may aid in this differential diagnosis. RV size is allometrically related to BSA and therefore scaling for population-specific b exponents is encouraged.
