Journal ArticleDOI
Detection and quantification of left atrial structural remodeling with delayed-enhancement magnetic resonance imaging in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Robert S. Oakes,Troy J. Badger,Eugene G. Kholmovski,Nazem Akoum,Nathan S. Burgon,Eric N. Fish,Joshua Blauer,Swati N. Rao,Edward V. R. DiBella,Nathan M. Segerson,Marcos Daccarett,Jessiciah Windfelder,Christopher J. McGann,Dennis L. Parker,Rob S. MacLeod,Nassir F. Marrouche +15 more
TL;DR: The utility of delayed-enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) in detecting abnormal atrial tissue before radiofrequency ablation and in predicting procedural outcome is reported and may provide insight into the progress of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Left Atrial Strain and Strain Rate in Patients With Paroxysmal and Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Relationship to Left Atrial Structural Remodeling Detected by Delayed-Enhancement MRI
Suman S. Kuppahally,Nazem Akoum,Nathan S. Burgon,Troy J. Badger,Eugene G. Kholmovski,Sathya Vijayakumar,Swati N. Rao,Joshua Blauer,Eric N. Fish,Edward V. R. DiBella,Rob S. MacLeod,Christopher J. McGann,Sheldon E. Litwin,Nassir F. Marrouche +13 more
TL;DR: LA wall fibrosis by delayed-enhancement MRI is inversely related to LA strain and strain rate, and these are related to the AF burden.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of tissue conductivity anisotropy on EEG/MEG field and return current computation in a realistic head model: A simulation and visualization study using high-resolution finite element modeling
Carsten H. Wolters,Alfred Anwander,Xavier Tricoche,David M. Weinstein,Martin Koch,Rob S. MacLeod,Rob S. MacLeod +6 more
TL;DR: A study of the sensitivity to tissue anisotropy of the EEG/MEG forward problem for deep and superficial neocortical sources with differing orientation components in an anatomically accurate model of the human head is reported on.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atrial fibrosis helps select the appropriate patient and strategy in catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation: a DE-MRI guided approach.
Nazem Akoum,Marcos Daccarett,Chris Mcgann,Nathan M. Segerson,Gaston Vergara,Suman Kuppahally,Troy Badger,B S Nathan Burgon,B S Thomas Haslam,Eugene G. Kholmovski,Rob S. MacLeod,Nassir Marrouche +11 more
TL;DR: Delayed enhancement MRI (DE‐MRI) was used to stratify AF patients based on pre‐ablation fibrosis and also to evaluate ablation‐induced scarring in order to identify predictors of a successful ablation.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Based Method for Defining the Extent of Left Atrial Wall Injury After the Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation
Christopher J. McGann,Eugene G. Kholmovski,Robert S. Oakes,Joshua Blauer,Marcos Daccarett,Nathan M. Segerson,Kelly J. Airey,Nazem Akoum,Eric N. Fish,Troy J. Badger,Edward V. R. DiBella,Dennis L. Parker,Rob S. MacLeod,Nassir F. Marrouche +13 more
TL;DR: There seems to be a correlation between the extent of left atrial wall injury and short-term procedural outcome and noninvasive MRI methods that allow for the detection and quantification of LA wall scarring after RF ablation in patients with AF.
