Abstract

INTRODUCTION: We studied the extent and distribution of left atrial (LA) fibrosis on delayed-enhanced (DE) MRI in a general cardiology population. METHODS AND RESULTS: One hundred ninety consecutive patients referred for cardiac MRI underwent DE imaging using a free breathing method. The population ...
