*Cardiac MRI and computed tomography can be helpful in carefully selected patients to identify conditions known to contribute to conduction disturbance or sinus node dysfunction.
*Cardiac MRI and computed tomography are particularly helpful in the diagnosis of infiltrative disorders (such as sarcoidosis and amyloidosis) that present with AV block.
*Specifically, MRI can be helpful in diagnosing infiltrative processes, including sarcoidosis, hemochromatosis, and amyloidosis.

Overview

MRI can be helpful in diagnosing infiltrative processes, including sarcoidosis, hemochromatosis, and amyloidosis.

2018 ACC/AHA/HRS Guideline on the Evaluation and Management of Patients With Bradycardia and Cardiac Conduction Delay[1]

  • Cardiac MRI and computed tomography are particularly helpful in the diagnosis of infiltrative disorders (such as sarcoidosis and amyloidosis) that present with AV block.
