Quantitative Assessment of Artifacts on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Patients With Pacemakers and Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators

Structured PICO

Population

Patients with pacemakers (PM) and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) undergoing Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR)

Intervention

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR)

Comparator

Right-sided PM/ICD and left-sided PM

Outcome

Susceptibility artifacts on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imagingsurrogate

Left-sided ICDs cause susceptibility artifacts in the anterior and apical left ventricle on CMR, highlighting the need for artifact reduction methodologies.

Abstract

In contrast to patients with right-sided PM/ICD and left-sided PM, the anterior and apical left ventricle can be affected by susceptibility artifacts in patients with left-sided ICD. Artifact reduction methodologies will be necessary to improve the performance of CMR in patients with left sided ICD systems.
