| It is advised to routinely assess LV systolic function in patients undergoing CIED implantation. |  |
| The echocardiographic 2D biplane method of disk summation is the standard method to calculate LVEF. | |
| In patients with good acoustic windows, extensive LV wall motion abnormalities or borderline LVEF (i.e. ±5% around the cut-off for ICD implantation), 3D echocardiography, if available, is the preferred method to measure LVEF by ultrasound. | |
| If poor echocardiographic windows preclude a reliable assessment of LVEF, contrast echocardiography or CMR is advised. |  |
| Pre-implantation cardiac imaging reports should include the description of findings that may complicate CIED implantation. | |
| Cross-sectional imaging with CT or CMR is advised in patients with suspected persistent left-sided SVC. | |
