One More Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Atrial Fibrillation

In brief

The objective of this study is to utilize delayed enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to assess the success of pulmonary vein isolation after cryoablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. The primary hypothesis is that cardiac magnetic resonance imaging will be able to visualize changes in left atrial tissue characteristics caused by cryoablation used to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
