Differentiation and quantification of fibrosis, fat and fatty fibrosis in human left atrial myocardium using ex vivo MRI.
BACKGROUND:Atrial fibrillation is associated with an atrial cardiomyopathy composed mainly of fibrosis and adipose tissue accumulation. We hypothesized that MRI, when used in an optimal ex vivo setting allowing high spatial resolution without motion artifacts, can help characterizing the complex 3D...
