Cardiac Magnetic Resonance for Ventricular Arrhythmia Therapies in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is currently gold standard for myocardial tissue characterization and scar assessment. CMR serves potential prognostic information in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) for both ventricular arrhythmia risk, as well as it may also be used for guiding VT ablation procedures. This review is focused on the usefulness of CMR for ventricular arrhythmia therapies in patients with CAD.

متن کاملThe Correlation between Left and Right Ventricular Ejection Fractions in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease, Documented by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Introduction: The correlation between right and left ventricular ejection fractions (RVEF and LVEF, respectively) has been studied in only a small number of patients with a marked decrease in RVEF and LVEF. The aim of the present study was to compare LVEF and RVEF in patients with ischemic heart disease. RVEF and LVEF were measured by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging. Materials a...
