Abstract
Introduction High resolution late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) of the left atrium (LA) and pulmonary veins (PV) performed after PV isolation (PVI) demonstrates the ablation pattern, but would benefit from imaging during the period of least motion. LA area changes during the cardiac cycle have been studied in normal subjects [1]. The PV ostial size variations throughout the cardiac cycle have also been measured in pre-PVI patients [2].
