MRI of the Heart: A Tool to Guide Advanced pacemaker Therapy

Moving beyond standard echocardiography, this course focuses on using CMR data to make predictive and therapeutic decisions in complex pacing cases. We’ll explore how specific CMR parameters—such as left ventricular scar burden, location, and severity—influence the selection of patients for CRT and predict their likelihood of responding. Learn how to translate complex imaging reports into actionable implantation strategies for LV lead placement, ensuring you are targeting the most effective pacing site. This is a critical skill for improving the efficacy and longevity of advanced pacemaker therapy.
