AI 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.
Article Abstract
Risk stratification for malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death is a daunting task for physicians in daily practice. Multiparametric mapping sequences obtained via cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging can improve the risk stratification for malignant ventricular arrhythmias by unveiling the presence of pathophysiological pro-arrhythmogenic processes. However, their employment in clinical practice is still restricted. The present review explores the current evidence supporting the association between mapping abnormalities and the risk of ventricular arrhythmias in several cardiovascular diseases. The key message is that further clinical studies are needed to test the additional value of mapping techniques beyond conventional cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging for selecting patients eligible for an implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
