PURPOSE: Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is an effective therapy for selected groups of patients. We evaluated whether quantification of left atrium (LA) or pulmonary vein (PV) by using multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) may predict the success rate of PV isolation procedure. ME...
