Coronary sinus signal amplitude predicts left atrial scarring.

CONCLUSIONS: There is a strong negative correlation between the size of left atrial low-voltage areas (LVA) and coronary sinus signal amplitude. With increasing left atrial LVA size, CS signal amplitudes decrease, and vice versa. On the basis of these findings, average CS signal amplitudes of ≤1.9 mV can be used as a predictor for a left atrial low-voltage size of ≥50%. PMID: 29272990 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
