Article Synopsis
  • - Risk stratification for dangerous heart arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death is challenging for doctors, but multiparametric mapping via MRI can help identify issues leading to these irregularities.
  • - Current use of this advanced mapping method in clinical settings is limited, despite evidence linking mapping abnormalities to increased arrhythmia risk in various heart diseases.
  • - The review emphasizes the need for more clinical studies to evaluate how these mapping techniques can enhance patient selection for implantable cardioverter defibrillator treatments beyond traditional MRI methods.
