The understanding of atrial fibrillation (AF) evolved from a sole rhythm disturbance towards
the complex concept of a cardiomyopathy based on arrhythmia substrates. There is …

Late gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (LGE MRI) is commonly used
to visualize and quantify left atrial (LA) scars. The position and extent of LA scars provide …

Aims Myocardial fibrosis is a hallmark of atrial fibrillation (AF) and its characterization could
be used to guide ablation procedures. Late gadolinium enhanced-magnetic resonance …

Three-dimensional late gadolinium enhanced (LGE) cardiac MR (CMR) of left atrial scar in
patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) has recently emerged as a promising technique to stratify …

Aims Identification of left atrial (LA) fibrosis through late gadolinium-enhanced cardiac
magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) remains controversial due to the heterogeneity and lack of …

Background: Myocardial fibrosis is key for atrial fibrillation maintenance. We aimed to test
the efficacy of ablating cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-detected atrial fibrosis plus …

Despite remarkable advances in antiarrhythmic drugs, ablation procedures, and stroke-
prevention strategies, atrial fibrillation (AF) remains an important cause of death and …

Recently, studies using late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) to identify structural changes of atrial tissue have contributed significantly to …

Segmentation of cardiac fibrosis and scars is essential for clinical diagnosis and can provide
invaluable guidance for the treatment of cardiac diseases. Late Gadolinium enhancement …

Aims Non-invasive depiction of conducting channels (CCs) is gaining interest for its
usefulness in ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation. The best imaging approach has not been …
