Lode BV supine cycle ergometer during in-scanner supine exercise cardiac magnetic resonance. The Lode BV supine cycle ergometer allows in-scanner exercise, up to maximal exercise intensity, during CMR scanning, as demonstrated by La Gerche et al. [29]. The ergometer attaches firmly to the CMR scanner bed by screw attachments and is safe to use in CMR scanners up to 3 T. The patients’ feet attach into the stirrups and strap securely in place. Resistance can be altered manually in 1-watt intervals. This ergometer is the most utilised modality in Ex-CMR research studies
