Excerpt

Left atrial (LA) performance quantification using Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) is of growing interest. There is evidence that declined left atrial function is associated with a poorer outcome following pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in atrial fibrillation (AF). Furthermore, the influence of PVI on left atrial performance has not yet been investigated comprehensively. This study was designed to investigate the feasibility of CMR using comprehensive myocardial feature tracking (CMR-FT) and volumetric analyses for serial investigation of atrial performance before and after PVI. …
