The impact of the atrial wall thickness in normal/mild late‐gadolinium enhancement areas on atrial fibrillation rotors in persistent atrial fibrillation patients

Abstract Background Some of atrial fibrillation (AF) drivers are found in normal/mild late‐gadolinium enhancement (LGE) areas, as well as moderate ones. The atrial wall thickness (AWT) has been reported to be important as a possible AF substrate. However, the AWT and degree of LGEs as an AF substrat...
