Reproducibility and accuracy of late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance measurements for the detection of left atrial fibrosis in patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation procedures

摘要

Aims Late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) may define left atrial (LA) anatomy and structural remodelling, and facilitate atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. We aimed to assess the intra-and inter-observer reproducibility and agreement of LGE-CMR parameters with direct application to AF ablation techniques.
