Cardiac pacing and ventilation synchronization. The ventilator signal output is used as a trigger. The duration of the cardiac cycle (Δ) is adjusted to be an integer (n) fraction of the ventilation period T. Encoding and rewinding gradient pulses of the STEAM sequence are placed at the exact same point of the cardiac cycle. Acquisition is performed during the end expiration plateau.
