Myocardial Fibrosis and the Risk of Recurrence in Atrial Fibrillation

Myocardial Fibrosis and the Risk of Recurrence in Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent cardiac arrhythmia increasing the risk of stroke and mortality from heart failure. Magnetic resonance imaging was used by several authors for assessment of atrial fibrosis and to predict the rate of recurrence following AF ablation. The aim of this manus...
