Abstract
Catheter ablation has been widely used to manage recurrent atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. It has been established that contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance can accurately characterize the myocardium. In this review, we summarize the role of cardiac magnetic resonance in identification of arrhythmogenic substrates, and the potential utility of cardiac magnetic resonance for catheter ablation of complex atrial and ventricular arrhythmias.
