Prevalence of Coronary Artery Calcification on Pre-Atrial Fibrillation Ablation CT Pulmonary Venograms and its Impact on Selection for Statin Therapy

Prevalence of Coronary Artery Calcification on Pre-Atrial Fibrillation Ablation CT Pulmonary Venograms and its Impact on Selection for Statin Therapy

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) shares many risk factors with atrial fibrillation (AF). Obtaining computed tomography images of the pulmonary veins (CTPV) before AF ablation procedures is common and can incidentally detect coronary artery calcification (CAC). The purpose of this study...
