Does 4D flow CMR detect altered LA flow and associate with CHA2DS2-VASc score in patients with atrial fibrillation?
To apply 4D flow cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) for the volumetric measurement of 3D left atrial (LA) blood flow to evaluate its potential to detect altered LA flow in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and to investigate associations of changes in systolic and diastolic LA flow with the current clinical risk score (CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc) used for the assessment of thromboembolic risk in AF.
Lee et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
