Association Between Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance‐Derived Left Atrial Dimensions, Electroanatomical Substrate and NT‐proANP Levels in Atrial Fibrillation

Association Between Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance‐Derived Left Atrial Dimensions, Electroanatomical Substrate and NT‐proANP Levels in Atrial Fibrillation

Background Enlargement of left atrial (LA) size indicates advanced disease stage in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and is associated with poor success of different AF therapies. Two dimensional echocardiographic LA measurements do not reliably reflect the true size of LA anatomy. The aim of...
