Is atrial fibrosis quantified using late gadolinium enhancement MRI associated with sinus node dysfunction requiring pacemaker implant?
In patients with AF presenting for catheter ablation, LGE-MRI quantification of atrial fibrosis demonstrates preferential LA involvement. Significant atrial fibrosis is associated with clinically significant SND requiring pacemaker implantation.
Asking family members about memory loss in a patient may be an unreliable strategy to detect dementia.
