Left atrial volume estimated by multi-detector computed tomography may predict successful pulmonary vein isolation in atrial fibrillation ablation.
Does left atrial volume estimated by MDCT predict successful AF ablation restricted to PV isolation in patients with atrial fibrillation?
Left atrial volume measured by MDCT may help identify atrial fibrillation patients who will respond to pulmonary vein isolation alone without requiring more complex ablation procedures.
Left atrium volume estimated by MDCT may be useful to identify pts in whom successful AF ablation can be achieved with simpler ablation procedures, restricted to PV isolation.
Abecasis et al. (2009) studied this question. Left atrial volume estimated by multi-detector computed tomography may predict successful pulmonary vein isolation in atrial fibrillation ablation.
