Abstract

Cardiac resynchronization therapy has evolved in recent years to provide a reduction of morbidity and mortality for many patients with heart failure. Its application and optimization is an evolving field and its use requires a multidisciplinary approach for patient and device selection, technical preprocedural planning, and optimization. While echocardiography has always been considered the first line for the evaluation of patients, additional imaging techniques have gained increasing evidence in recent years. Today different details about heart anatomy, function, dissynchrony can be investigated by magnetic resonance, cardiac computed tomography, nuclear imaging, and more, with the aim of obtaining clues to reach a maximal response from the electrical therapy. The purpose of this review is to provide a practical analysis of the single and combined use of different imaging techniques in the preoperative and perioperative phases of cardiac resynchronization therapy, underlining their main advantages, limitations, and information provided.
