Comparative cine-CMR images prior to and post ICD-implantation. Comparative cine-CMR (SSFP) still images: at end-diastole, respective end-systole, in basal and apical cardiac short axis (A), 3-chamber (B) and 4-chamber views (C) before (left panels) and after ICD implantation (right panels). A large susceptibility artifact coming from the ICD generator, situated on the left anterior hemithorax, blurs the visualization of the anterior and antero-lateral left ventricular myocardial segments (right panel).
