AB  - A detailed understanding of cardiac anatomy and pathophysiology is necessary to 
      optimize catheter ablation procedural success for patients with symptomatic 
      ventricular tachycardia (VT)/premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) of outflow 
      tract origin. Comprehensive imaging with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging 
      (cMRI) is now at the forefront of procedural planning for complex ventricular 
      arrhythmia ablation for patients with structural heart disease, but is 
      increasingly used in patients with presumed "idiopathic" outflow VT/PVCs as well. 
      cMRI with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) can localize small regions of 
      myocardial scar from previous myocardial infarction, fibrosis from non-ischemic 
      cardiomyopathy, or edema/fibrosis from inflammatory disorders and help define 
      targets for ablation. LGE, in combination with structural assessment, can help 
      differentiate true idiopathic outflow VT/PVCs from those caused by early stage 
      disease secondary to more significant pathology, such as arrhythmogenic right 
      ventricular cardiomyopathy or cardiac sarcoidosis. We review the benefits of cMRI 
      with LGE for patients with VT/PVCs of outflow origin.
