Structured PICO

What is the impact of ICD artifact burden on LGE-CMRI in patients undergoing VT ablation?

P
Population
Patients undergoing ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD)
I
Intervention
Late Gadolinium Enhancement Cardiac MR Imaging (LGE-CMRI)
O
Outcome
ICD artifact burden on LV myocardiumsurrogate

Current LGE-CMRI protocols produce significant ICD artifacts affecting >50% of the LV myocardium, limiting their utility for image-guided VT ablation.

Abstract

Current clinical LGE-CMRI scar imaging protocols produce ICD artifacts that affect >50% of the LV myocardium and correlate with the ICD-heart distance. This significantly limits the application of CMRI for image-guided VT ablation.
