As a consequence of improved technology, there is growing clinical interest in the use of
multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) for non-invasive coronary angiography …

Atrial fibrillation (AF)—the most common arrhythmia—significantly increases the risk of
stroke and heart failure. Although catheter ablation can restore normal heart rhythms …

Interest for the pulmonary veins has increased in the past decade after the potential
arrhythmogenicity of the myocardial sleeve surrounding these structures has been …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess left atrial (LA) strain during long-term
follow-up after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation and to find predictors for LA reverse …

Background: A detailed appreciation of left atrial/pulmonary vein (LA/PV) anatomy may be
important in improving the safety and success of catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation …

Background: Circumferential radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) around the orifices of
the pulmonary veins (PV) is a curative catheter‐based therapy of paroxysmal, persistent …

Background The type of atrial fibrillation (AF) is the sole prognostic factor that affects the
level of recommendation for catheter ablation in the current guidelines. Despite being …

Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) is commonly acquired before radiofrequency
catheter ablation (RFCA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) to plan and guide the procedure. MSCT …

The left atrium (LA) anterior–posterior diameter was one of the first standardised
echocardiographic parameters. However, the clinical importance of LA size assessment has …

Introduction: This study examines the feasibility of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation using
registered three‐dimensional computed tomography (CT) images of the left atrium with …
