Primary outcomePrimary: Left Atrial (LA) Remodeling Pre-ablation — 2; 31; 7; 0 participants — p=0.48
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of pre-ablation fibrosis on scar formation in the left atrium of the heart. This will be assessed by delayed enhancement magnetic resonance imaging and will be looked at in patients who have undergone successful open irrigated cooled-tipped radio-frequency ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Follow-up after ablation will be for 12 months.
