Right ventricular arrhythmogenic dysplasia is a rare cardiomyopathy which involves the right ventricle either totally or partially. Up to now diagnoses have been based on Ecg, hemodynamics, angiography and echocardiography. This paper deals with the first 7 patients examined also by means of Computed Tomography. The CT picture is well defined and rather accurate. The most important elements are: total (6/7) or partial (1/7) enlargement of the right ventricle; thinning of right ventricular myocardium (6/7); marked increase in subepicardial fat limited to the right ventricular wall (7/7); right ventricle hypokinesia (7/7). A good correlation exists between CT, echographic and traditional methodologies findings. Because of its densitometric evaluation, CT is much more precise in the demonstration of fatty degeneration. Moreover, it can be very useful in differentiating intracardiac thrombi from hypertrophic papillary muscles and trabeculae.
