Substrate Modification Is a Better Predictor of Catheter Ablation Success in Atrial Fibrillation Than Pulmonary Vein Isolation: An LGE-MRI Study

OBJECTIVES: Outcomes of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) vary widely. We used late-gadolinium enhancement MRI (LGE-MRI) to examine the relationship of ablation-induced scarring in the pulmonary vein (PV) region and overall atrium to evaluate the role of PV encirclement and substrate mod...
