Detection and Quantification of Left Atrial Structural Remodeling With Delayed-Enhancement Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
- R. Oakes, T. Badger, +13 authors N. Marrouche
- Medicine
- Circulation
- 7 April 2009
Background— Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with diffuse left atrial fibrosis and a reduction in endocardial voltage. These changes are indicators of AF severity and appear to be predictors of… Expand

BACKGROUND
Lone atrial fibrillation (AF) is thought to be a benign type or an early stage of the disease.
OBJECTIVE
This study sought to compare the left atrium (LA) substrate using… Expand

- 1 June 2007
Introduction: We performed a prospective study to compare efficacy and safety of both open irrigation tip (OIT) technology with intracardiac echo (ICE)‐guided energy delivery in patients presenting… Expand
New magnetic resonance imaging-based method for defining the extent of left atrial wall injury after the ablation of atrial fibrillation.

- Medicine
- Journal of the American College of Cardiology
- 7 October 2008
OBJECTIVES
We describe a noninvasive method of detecting and quantifying left atrial (LA) wall injury after pulmonary vein antrum isolation (PVAI) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Using a… Expand
Association of left atrial fibrosis detected by delayed-enhancement magnetic resonance imaging and the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation.

- 15 February 2011
OBJECTIVES
This study tried to determine the association between left atrial (LA) fibrosis, detected using delayed-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI), and the CHADS(2) score (point system… Expand
Dark regions of no-reflow on late gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance imaging result in scar formation after atrial fibrillation ablation.

- Medicine
- Journal of the American College of Cardiology
- 5 July 2011
OBJECTIVES
The aim of this study was to assess acute ablation injuries seen on late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) immediately post-ablation (IPA) and the association… Expand
