Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a progressive condition that begins with hemodynamic and/or structural changes in the left atrium (LA) and evolves through paroxysmal and persistent stages. Because of limitations with current noninvasive imaging techniques, the relationship between LA structure and function is not well understood. Sixty-five patients (age, 61.2+/-14.2 years; 67% men) with paroxysmal (44%) or persistent (56%) AF underwent 3D delayed-enhancement MRI. Segmentation of the LA wall was performed and degree of enhancement (fibrosis) was determined using a semiautomated quantification algorithm. Two-dimensional echocardiography and longitudinal LA strain and strain rate during ventricular systole with velocity vector imaging were obtained. Mean fibrosis was 17.8+/-14.5%. Log-transformed fibrosis values correlated inversely with LA midlateral strain (r=-0.5, P=0.003) and strain rate (r=-0.4, P<0.005). Patients with persistent AF as compared with paroxysmal AF had more fibrosis (22+/-17% versus 14+/-9%, P=0.04) and lower midseptal (27+/-14% versus 38+/-16%, P=0.01) and midlateral (35+/-16% versus 45+/-14% P=0.03) strains. Multivariable stepwise regression showed that midlateral strain (r=-0.5, P=0.006) and strain rate (r=-0.4...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
