Trastornos del ritmo cardíaco: un reto para el radiólogo

In cases with clinical suspicion of arrhythmia, Holter and electrophysiological studies should be performed. If the condition is confirmed, associated cardiopathy must be ruled out. Echocardiography should be the first imaging test to be performed. Multidetector computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been applied to the field of cardiology more recently and are gradually acquiring specific roles with precise indications. In the study of arrhythmias, MRI is indicated in two particular areas: auricular fibrillation and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia.
