Can an increase in the pulmonary vein volume measured by three dimensional computed tomography predict the presence of atrial fibrillation?

Can an increase in the pulmonary vein volume measured by three dimensional computed tomography predict the presence of atrial fibrillation?

Abstract Background Left atrial (LA) dilation is associated with morbidity of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, little is known about pulmonary vein (PV) dilation. Purpose We investigated the PV volume in the patients with AF. Methods and results We performed 3dimensional computed tomography (3DCT)...
