Figure 1. The 12-lead electrocardiogram (panel A). Transthoracic echocardiography: apical four-chamber view, diastolic frame (panel B) showing a severe dilatation of the right ventricle and color-Doppler systolic frame (panel C). Short axis parasternal view (panel D): dilatation of the right ventricle outflow tract but no dilatation in the pulmonary artery.
