Imaging for cardiac resynchronisation therapy requires cardiac magnetic resonance

Recently, Ngyuen et al. tested the technical feasibility of using computed tomography angiography (CTA) for visualisation of the coronary venous anatomy in a limited number of patients scheduled for cardiac resynchronisation therapy [1]. In 15 patients a cardiac resynchronisation therapy device was implanted. Based on their findings, the authors conclude that a pre-procedural CTA may be beneficial for cardiac resynchronisation therapy implantation by identifying additional veins
