Prognostic and functional implications of left atrial late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance

Abstract Background Left atrial (LA) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is indicative of fibrosis, and has been correlated with reduced LA function, increased LA volume, and poor procedural outcomes in cohorts with atrial fibrillation (AF). However,...
