Abstract

The same group also demonstrated the comprehensive use of computed tomography in selecting the optimal coronary vein for left ventricular lead placement by targeting regions of late mechanical activation and avoiding scarring [3]. See PDF.] Schematic overview representing the key components relevant for left ventricular lead placement including the imaging techniques that may evaluate these aspects (CMR cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, CT computed tomography, ECG electrocardiography, SPECT single-photon emission tomography, MPS myocardial perfusion scintigraphy, Q-LV intrinsic local electrical delay at the left ventricular lead) References 1. Cardiac magnetic resonance-derived anatomy, scar, and dyssynchrony fused with fluoroscopy to guide LV lead placement in cardiac resynchronization therapy: a comparison with acute haemodynamic measures and echocardiographic reverse remodelling.
