Overview
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging may be used to assess the structure and the function of the atria in patients with atrial fibrillation. Recent studies suggest that late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful tool to detect atrial fibrosis and atrial fibrillation related remodelings. Detection of atrial fibrosis with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be helpful for patient selection for ablation treatment. Moreover, this diagnostic tool can be use to detect thrombosis within the atrium.
Cardiac MRI
- Recent studies suggest that late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful tool to detect atrial fibrosis and atrial fibrillation related remodelings.[1][2][3]
- Detection of atrial fibrosis with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be helpful for patient selection for ablation treatment.[2]
- Moreover this diagnostic tool can be use to detect thrombosis within the atrium. Based on a analysis study done on 582 patients from seven publications cine-cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has a pooled sensitivity and specificity of 91.00% and 93.00%, respectively.[4]
- Based on a study done on patients with permanent atrial fibrillation, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was more reliable in detecting the atrium size, structure, and contractile function, compared to trans-thoracic echocardiography. [5]
- Cine-cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is able to evaluate the effect of ablation in atrial fibrillation cases.[2]
- Detection of abnormal left atrial function in late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is associated with worse prognosis.[2]
