“…CCTA has a dominant role in left atrial (LA) procedures. (61,62). Furthermore, anatomical relationship between venous LA and posterior wall to the oesophagus can be easily identified and is beneficial in the risk reduction of lethal complications such as atrioesophageal fistula caused by high-energy application during ablation procedures (61)(62).…”

“…Most recently, new energy-sensitive photon counting detectors (PCDs) have been developed which directly count the number of incident photons and measure their photon energies separately. Multi-energy CT with PCDs may provide more spectral information than DECT systems, but they are the subject of ongoing research and are not yet commercially available (61). A recent preclinical experimental model has demonstrated the feasibility and accuracy of PCDs compared to MRI and histology as the reference standard for quantitative separation of blood pool, scar, and remote myocardium using a simultaneous multicontrast agent protocol (121).…”

The normal and pathological anatomy of the heart and coronary arteries are nowadays widely developed topics and constitute a fundamental part of the cultural background of the radiologist. The introduction of cardiac ECG-gated synchronized CT scanners with an ever-increasing number of detectors and with increasingly high structural characteristics (increase in temporal resolution, increase in contrast resolution with dual-source, dual energy scanners) allows the virtual measurement of anatomical in vivo structures complying with heart rate with submillimetric precision permitting to clearly depict the normal anatomy and follow the pathologic temporal evolution. Accordingly to these considerations, cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) asserts itself as a gold standard method for the anatomical evaluation of the heart and permits to evaluate, verify, measure and characterize structural pathological alterations of both congenital and acquired degenerative diseases. Accordingly, CCTA is increasingly used as a prognostic model capable of modifying the outcome of diseased patients in planning interventions and in the post-surgical/interventional follow-up. The profound knowledge of cardiac anatomy and function through highly detailed CCTA analysis is required to perform an efficient and optimal use in real-world clinical practice.

Imaging modalities such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance, positron emission tomography, and single-photon emission computed tomography are an indispensable component of cardiac arrhythmia management. Over the last two decades, developments in imaging techniques have facilitated safer and more effective cardiac ablation and device implantation procedures. Pre-procedural assessment of arrhythmogenic substrate and integration with electroanatomic data has significantly impacted the management of atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. Furthermore, cardiovascular imaging enhances patient selection, prognostication, and follow-up of patients undergoing ablation procedures. Imaging also provides valuable anatomic information in patients being considered for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). While the optimal modality for assessing efficacy of resynchronization is currently unclear, further study holds promise in mitigating the substantial burden of CRT non-response. This article aims to highlight the utility and evidence for various advanced imaging modalities in the practice of cardiac electrophysiology with an emphasis on recent developments and future directions.
