Clinical impact of cardiovascular magnetic resonance with optimized myocardial scar detection in patients with cardiac implantable devices

摘要

Background: Myocardial scar assessment using late gadolinium enhancement Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (LGE CMR) is commonly indicated for patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), however metal artifact can degrade images. We evaluated the clinical impact of LGE CMR incorporating a device-dependent metal artifact reduction strategy in patients with (LEDs.
