Fig. 2From: Artefacts in 1.5 Tesla and 3 Tesla cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging in patients with leadless cardiac pacemakersArtefact burden depicting the percentage of grade 3 and 4 artefacts in each myocardial wall segment in the short axis on bSSFP cine imaging sequences. Mid anteroseptal, inferoseptal and apical left ventricular (LV) septal segments (AHA segments 8, 9 and 14) and mid and apical right ventricular (RV) segments were affected particularly by artefacts of the LCP. The artefact burden was significantly higher in the 3 Tesla group (3 Tesla vs 1.5 Tesla: 3.7 ± 1.6 vs 1.9 ± 1.4 myocardial segments per patient, p = 0.03)Back to article page
