Abstract Purpose of Review The purpose of this review is to summarize the application of
cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in the diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of patients …

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging could enable major advantages when guiding
in real-time cardiac electrophysiology procedures offering high-resolution anatomy …

Over the last ten years, the number of minimally invasive interventional procedures has
been increasing steadily. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is still far less frequently used …

Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) MRI is capable of detecting not only native cardiac
fibrosis, but also ablation-induced scarring. Thus, it offers the unique opportunity to assess …

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) and VF account for the majority of sudden cardiac deaths
worldwide. Treatments for VT/VF include anti-arrhythmic drugs, ICDs and catheter ablation …

The prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in cardiomyopathies (CM) remains a
challenge. The current guidelines still favor the implantation of devices for the primary …

Abstract Purpose of Review Theoretical benefits of real-time MRI guidance over
conventional electrophysiology include contemporaneous 3D substrate assessment and …

Catheter ablation has an important role in the management of patients with ventricular
tachycardia (VT) but is limited by modest long-term success rates. Magnetic resonance …

Sarcoidosis is a relatively rare inflammatory condition which potentially carries high
morbidity and substantial mortality. Due to the fact that it does not subject patients to ionizing …

Atrial arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, may be treated through
catheter ablation. The process of atrial arrhythmia catheter ablation, which includes patient …
