Improved imaging techniques are needed for early
assessment of left ventricular dysfunction in patients
with frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs).
Accurate beat-specific assessment of cardiac function is
required for appropriate disease prognosis and therapy
choice. Conventional cardiac MRI acquisition is
compromised by arrhythmia-rejection data filtering and
breath-hold induced variations in cardiac function. This
preliminary study evaluates free-breathing non-gated
real time MRI acquisition retrospectively synchronized
with physiological data for cardiac function analysis
during PVCs.
