Overview

When structural heart disease is suspected in the context of ventricular tachycardia, it is necessary to have an accurate evaluation of the structure and function of the atria and ventricles. While echocardiography is the first modality of choice, MRI is used when the assessment provided by echocardiography is not satisfactory. In addition, MRI seems to have an important role in the evaluation of suspected arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy because MRI provides a good assessment of the right ventricular structure, function and fatty infiltration if present.

Cardiac MRI

  • Cardiac MRL is an accurate modality for evaluation of the following:
  1. Quantification of LVEF, left ventricular mass, and volume
  2. Anomaly of coronary arteries origin
  3. Valvular heart disease
  4. Myocardial scar
  5. Infiltrative process by late gadolinium enhancement
  6. LV , RV function





2006 ACC/AHA/ESC Guidelines for Management of Patients With Ventricular Arrhythmias and the Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death (DO NOT EDIT) [2]

Left Ventricular Function and Imaging (DO NOT EDIT) [2]

Class IIa
"1. MRI, cardiac computed tomography (CT), or radionuclide angiography can be useful in patients with ventricular arrhythmias when echocardiography does not provide accurate assessment of LV and RV function and/or evaluation of structural changes. (Level of Evidence B)"
"2. LV imaging can be useful in patients undergoing biventricular pacing. (Level of Evidence C)"
