Abstract

UNLABELLED: MRI for AF Patient Selection and Ablation Approach. INTRODUCTION: Left atrial (LA) fibrosis and ablation related scarring are major predictors of success in rhythm control of atrial fibrillation (AF). We used delayed enhancement MRI (DE-MRI) to stratify AF patients based on pre-ablation ...
