Pre- and post-procedural cardiac imaging (computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging) in electrophysiology: a clinical consensus statement of the European Heart Rhythm Association and European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging of the European Society of Cardiology

Establishing a team of electrophysiologists and cardiac imaging specialists for complex ablation procedures is key.

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) can safely be performed in most patients with implanted active cardiac devices.

Standard procedures for pre- and post-scanning device management and potential CMR-associated device malfunctions need to be in place.

In ventricular tachycardia (VT) patients, imaging (specifically magnetic resonance (MR)) may help determine scar location and mural distribution in ischaemic and non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy.
