MRI
Cardiac MRI is an accurate modality for diagnosis of structural and functional causes of cardiac arrest by the evaluation of the following:[1]
- Chamber volumes
- Left ventricular mass
- Left ventricular size, function
- Right ventricular size and function
- Regional wall motion abnormality
2017AHA/ACC/HRS Guideline for management of sudden cardiac arrest and ventricular arrhythmia
| Class IIa (Level of Evidence: C) |
|
Other Imaging Findings
There are no other imaging findings associated with sudden cardiac death.
