Comparison of electroanatomic voltage mapping with late gadolinium enhancement CMR
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with atrial remodeling, including atrial cellular pathology [1,2], left atrial enlargement [3], and low voltage on electroanatomic mapping (EAM)[4]. Recent studies have identified late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in AF subjects pre-PVI as novel evidence of LA remodeling [5]. One study compared voltage by EAM obtained prior to a pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) procedure with the extent of atrial fibrosis using LGE [6]. Our goal was to further correlate EAM voltages with LGE.

Correlation between functional electrical gaps identified by ultrahigh-density mapping and by late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance in repeat atrial fibrillation procedure
Introduction Late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) images can reveal previous atrial scarring due to radiofrequency (RF) lesions from atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Discrepancies between the electrical gap identification in the LGE-CMR and in the electroanatomic voltage map obtained using a circular catheter inside pulmonary veins (PVs) have been observed. New map...

متن کاملT1 and T2 mapping CMR to quantify focal myocardial injury in patients with myocarditis
Background Focal myocardial injury is an important diagnostic feature of myocarditis and is typically assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) on late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) images. T1 mapping, T2 mapping, and extracellular volume (ECV) imaging are novel techniques which potentially improve the diagnostic value of CMR in myocarditis. This study evaluated the potential of T1 and...

Background The diagnosis of acute myocarditis is described to be challenging. Novel techniques like native and contrast enhanced T1 mapping have proven to be superior to standard sequences for differentiation between healthy individuals and acute myocarditis, but a comparison in the clinical setting is not yet done. We sought to assess the diagnostic performance of native and contrast enhanced ...
