Abstract

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.
