Abstract

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is currently gold standard for myocardial tissue characterization and scar assessment. CMR serves potential prognostic information in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) for both ventricular arrhythmia risk, as well as it may also be used for guiding VT ablation procedures. This review is focused on the usefulness of CMR for ventricular arrhythmia therapies in patients with CAD.
