MRI Assessment of Arrythmia Ablation Lesions

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Ventricular Tachycardia, Cardiac Arrhythmia

In brief

This study will evaluate the feasibility of visualization and characterization of arrhythmia ablation lesions by MRI immediately following standard ablation techniques. The appearance of the ablation lesion will be correlated with clinical outcomes and risk of arrhythmia recurrence.
