Table 7 Recommendations for CMR in the guideline on cardiac pacing and cardiac resynchronization therapy

Recommendations regarding imaging before implantation

Cardiac imaging is recommended in patients with suspected or documented symptomatic bradycardia to evaluate the presence of structural heart disease, to determine LV systolic function, and to diagnose potential causes of conduction disturbances

C

Multimodality imaging (CMR, CT, PET) should be considered for myocardial tissue characterization in the diagnosis of specific pathologies

associated with conduction abnormalities needing pacemaker implantation, particularly in patients younger than 60 years
