IMAGING IN PATIENTS WITH CARDIOVASCULAR IMPLANTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES: PART 1—IMAGING BEFORE AND DURING DEVICE IMPLANTATION

European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging and European Heart Rhythm Association

The consensus statement outlines the importance of various imaging modalities in the assessment of patients undergoing implantation of cardiovascular devices. It emphasizes the role of imaging in evaluating myocardial scar patterns and the implications for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). The document aims to optimize patient selection for CRT and improve clinical outcomes through integrated imaging approaches. It is a collaborative effort by the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging and the European Heart Rhythm Association.
