Association of Atrial Tissue Fibrosis Identified by Delayed Enhancement MRI and Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation

Marrouche et al. (Tue,) reported a other. Atrial tissue fibrosis detected by delayed enhancement MRI was independently associated with increased likelihood of recurrent arrhythmia in patients undergoing AF ablation.
