3D electroanatomical mapping is less sensitive to atrial remodeling in estimation of true left atrial volume than echocardiography

Abstract Background Left atrial (LA) enlargement has been identified as a predictor of worse clinical outcome after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). We investigated the correspondence of LA size parameters assessed by echocardiography, CT and 3D electroanatomical mapping in patients w...
