Why the study?
Does WB-LGE-CMR sequence allow adequate VT substrate characterization to guide VT ablation in patients with cardiac defibrillators compared to conventional LGE-CMR in patients without an ICD?
Does WB-LGE-CMR sequence allow adequate VT substrate characterization to guide VT ablation in patients with cardiac defibrillators compared to conventional LGE-CMR in patients without an ICD?
Wideband LGE-CMR provides accurate VT substrate characterization for ablation guidance in patients with ICDs, comparable to conventional CMR in non-ICD patients.
May support WB-LGE-CMR for VT ablation guidance in ICD patients; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
Use of WB-LGE-CMR sequence in ICD-patients allows adequate VT substrate characterization to guide VT ablation with similar accuracy than conventional LGE-CMR in patients without an ICD.
