Cardiac CT for Electrophysiology: Practical Insights

Cardiac CT for Electrophysiology: Practical Insights is a comprehensive, clinically focused guide to the integration of cardiac computed tomography into modern electrophysiology practice. As imaging increasingly shapes procedural planning and decision-making, this book provides a structured, practical framework for using CT across the full spectrum of arrhythmia management.Designed for electrophysiologists, cardiologists, radiologists, and cardiac imaging specialists, the book moves beyond traditional anatomical description to emphasise workflow integration, procedural relevance, and real-world clinical application. It bridges the gap between image acquisition and procedural execution, demonstrating how CT findings directly influence strategy in atrial fibrillation ablation, ventricular tachycardia ablation, left atrial appendage occlusion, and device-based therapies.The text begins with foundational principles, including CT physics, acquisition protocols, and post-processing techniques, before progressing into detailed, procedure-specific applications. Dedicated sections address:Pre- and post-procedural CT in atrial fibrillation and supraventricular arrhythmiasCT-guided planning for left atrial appendage occlusionSubstrate characterisation and integration in ventricular arrhythmia ablationImaging for cardiac implantable electronic devices and cardiac resynchronisation therapyA key strength of the book is its focus on end-to-end workflow, from referral and protocol selection to segmentation, 3D reconstruction, and integration with electroanatomic mapping systems. Practical guidance is provided on troubleshooting, avoiding common pitfalls, and optimising image quality in challenging clinical scenarios.In addition, the book explores advanced and emerging areas, including hybrid electrophysiology lab workflows, congenital heart disease applications, and the growing role of artificial intelligence and computational modelling in arrhythmia care.The final section offers ready-to-use protocols, structured reporting templates, case-based learning, and practical checklists, making the book directly applicable to daily clinical practice.Written with a strong emphasis on clarity, precision, and clinical relevance, Cardiac CT for Electrophysiology: Practical Insights serves as both a reference and a practical companion — supporting clinicians in translating imaging data into safer, more effective procedural strategies.
