Does cardiac magnetic resonance improve risk stratification and lead deployment in patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy?
CMR may play a valuable role in optimizing cardiac resynchronization therapy by quantifying scar burden and guiding left and right ventricular lead deployment.
Utsumueva et al. (2018) conducted a review in Heart failure. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) was evaluated. Cardiac magnetic resonance aids in risk stratification and lead deployment for patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy by localizing and quantifying myocardial perfusion and scars.
