MRI-quantified left atrial epicardial adipose tissue predicts atrial fibrillation recurrence following catheter ablation
BackgroundEpicardial adipose tissue (EAT) plays a significant role in promoting atrial fibrillation (AF) due to its proinflammatory properties and anatomic proximity to the myocardium. We sought to assess whether left atrial (LA) EAT volume is associated with AF recurrence following catheter ablatio...
