Imaging in patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices: part 1—imaging before and during device implantation. A clinical consensus statement of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) and the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) of the ESC
Recommendations
As issued by the authors
Before CIED, imaging can help identify specific or potentially reversible causes of heart block, tissue characteristics associated with malignant arrhythmias and mechanical consequences of conduction delays, and can aid challenging lead placements
In CIED recipients, imaging is required for standard indications, to assess response to implantation, to diagnose immediate and delayed complications and to guide device optimization
