Published: May 2024

With the increasing prevalence of arrhythmias, the use of electrophysiology (EP) procedures has increased. Recent advancements in computed tomography (CT) technology have expanded its use in pre-assessments and post-assessments of EP procedures. CT provides high-resolution images, is noninvasive, and is widely available. This article highlights the strengths and weaknesses of cardiac CT in EP.
