Serial assessment of left atrial deformation in patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation: a cardiovascular magnetic resonance feasibility study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Left atrial (LA) performance quantification using Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) is of growing interest. There is evidence that declined left atrial function is associated with a poorer outcome following pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in atrial fibrillation (AF). Furthermore, the influence of PVI on left atrial performance has not yet been investigated comprehensively. This study was designed to investigate the feasibility of CMR using comprehensive myocardial feature tracking (CMR-FT) and volumetric analyses for serial investigation of atrial performance before and after PVI.

Video-assisted bilateral pulmonary vein isolation and left atrial appendage exclusion for atrial fibrillation.
OBJECTIVE Pulmonary vein isolation is curative in selected patients with atrial fibrillation. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility and safety (midterm results) of video-assisted thoracoscopic epicardial pulmonary vein isolation. METHODS Twenty-seven patients (22 male patients) with atrial fibrillation (18 paroxysmal, 4 persistent, and 5 permanent; average age, 57 years) u...
متن کاملIs cardiovascular MRI equally effective as TEE in evaluation of left atrial appendage thrombus in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing pulmonary vein isolation
Introduction Patients with atrial fibrillation (Afib) routinely undergo a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) for evaluation of the left atrial appendage (LAA) to rule out thrombus prior to undergoing cardioversion or pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Cardiac MRI (CMR) is now increasingly used for evaluation of these patients for defining pulmonary vein anatomy prior to PVI. We hypothesized that...
متن کاملNative T1 mapping identifies subclinical left ventricular myocardial t1 abnormality in patients with atrial fibrillation referred for pulmonary vein isolation
Background Native T1 mapping has emerged as a noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method to assess the diffuse myocardial fibrosis without an exogenous contrast agents. To date, no data are available regarding native left ventricular (LV) T1 relaxation time in AF patients referred for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). The purpose of this study was to compare native myocardial T1 value be...
متن کاملCardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Scar Development Following Pulmonary Vein Isolation: A Prospective Study
AIMS Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (MR) provides non-invasive assessment of early (24-hour) edema and injury following pulmonary vein isolation (by ablation) and subsequent scar formation. We hypothesize that 24-hours after ablation, cardiovascular MR would demonstrate a pattern of edema and injury due to ablation and the severity would correlate with subsequent scar. METHODS Fifteen atri...
