Abstract
Uhl anomaly is a very rare condition characterized by complete or partial absence of the right ventricular myocardium, which is replaced by fibroelastic tissue [1].
Keywords
- Fibroelastic Tissue
- Partial Absence
- Ventricular Myocardium
- Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia
- High Apoptotic Activity
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
