Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the context of electrophysiology (EP) studies facilitates visualization of complex three-dimensional anatomy and the underlying arrhythmogenic substrate, real-time passive visualization of catheters, atrial and ventricular function and complications, as well as lesion visualization during the ablation without radiation. In the following we report on our first experience of a real-time MRI-guided EP study demonstrating current possibilities and drawbacks.
