Measurement of diffuse ventricular fibrosis with myocardial T1 in patients with atrial fibrillation

Measurement of diffuse ventricular fibrosis with myocardial T1 in patients with atrial fibrillation

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with cardiac fibrosis, which can now be measured noninvasively using T1-mapping with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI). This study aimed to assess the impact of AF on ventricular T1 at the time of CMRI. Methods: Subjects with AF scheduled fo...
