Atrial fibrosis helps select the appropriate patient and strategy in catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation: a de-mri guided approach.

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 fibrosis and also to evaluate ablation-induced scarring in order to identify p...
