Cardiac magnetic resonance for early atrial lesion visualization post atrial fibrillation radiofrequency catheter ablation

ConclusionCMR can visualize PVAI-L immediately after the RFCA of AF even without the use of contrast agents. Future studies are needed to understand if the use of CMR for PVAI-L detection after RFCA can improve the results of ablation procedures.
