Cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmias

BackgroundAnalysis of cardiac function in patients with arrhythmias is very limited or nearly impossible in ECG synchronized cine acquisitions with balanced SSFP.A real-time method at 1.5 T with SSFP contrast was used to show that this method is superior for image quality and analysis of ventricular function in a subset of patients with atrial fibrillation and AV-Block.* p < 0.001 RT vs Cine
