Does successful ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation preserve long-term left atrial contractility and compliance?
Patients 5 years after successful ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation (PsAF)
Successful ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation
Left atrial (LA) contractility, compliance, and scar burden assessed via MRIsurrogate
Even after successful ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation, left atrial mechanical function remains markedly impaired at 5 years and correlates with the extent of scar burden.
LA contractility and compliance are markedly impaired years after successful PsAF ablation. LA dysfunction is closely related to scar burden.
