[Abstract] In 1994, a proposed criteria of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dyspepsia (ARVC/D) was firstly reported by an International Task Force on British Heart Journal (Br Heart J 1994; 71: 215-218). Consequently, the 1994 criteria were highly specific but lacked sensitivity for early and familial disease. In 2002, the diagnostic criteria of familial ARVC/D was reported on Journal of the American College of Cardiology (J Am Coll Cardiol 2002; 40: 1445-1450) to deepen the understanding of the etiology and pathology of ARVC/D. In April 2010, the new revised diagnostic criteria was published on European Heart Journal (Eur Heart J 2010; 31: 806-814), in this modification of the Task Force criteria, quantitative criteria of MRI and ultrasonography are proposed as the essential stipulation. In this article, the diagnostic criteria of ARVC/D were reviewed and the diagnostic value of MRI for ARVC/D was evaluated with the literature review.
