Patient-derived models link re-entrant driver localization in atrial fibrillation to fibrosis spatial pattern
2016
Cardiovascular Research
Aims The mechanisms underlying persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with atrial fibrosis are poorly understood. The goal of this study was to use patient-derived atrial models to test the hypothesis that AF re-entrant drivers (RDs) persist only in regions with specific fibrosis patterns. Methods and results Twenty patients with persistent AF (PsAF) underwent late gadolinium-enhanced MRI to detect the presence of atrial fibrosis. Segmented images were used to construct personalized 3D
