Arrhythmia substrate identification using wideband motion-corrected late gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance imaging in a swine model of myocardial infarction with taped implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sudden cardiac death is a leading worldwide cause of cardiac mortality and is largely related to ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with known myocardial scarring. In these patients, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy reduces arrhythmia-related mortality. However, curative procedures such as catheter ablation are used to homogenize regions of scar and remove structural re-entry circuits that cause VT.

Objective

In this paper, we conduct a preliminary experiment comparing 2-dimensional (2D) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and 3-dimensional (3D) LGE without an ICD with wideband motion-corrected (WB-MOCO) LGE with an ICD in a cohort of infarcted Yorkshire swine.

Methods

Animals were imaged after infarct with conventional 2D and 3D LGE
