Abstract
Electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) alone may be unable to capture the hemodynamics associated with arrhythmic events. As a result, values such as ejection fraction are acquisition dependent. The desired RR-duration determines the arrhythmia rejection. By combining real-time volume measurements with ECG recordings, beat morphologies can be categorized and a more comprehensive evaluation of ventricular function during arrhythmia can be provided.
