Visualization of Acute Edema in the Left Atrial Myocardium after Radiofrequency Ablation: Application of a Novel High-Resolution 3-Dimensional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Sequence

Ablation-induced left atrial (LA) edema may result in procedural failure due to reversible pulmonary vein (PV) isolation. Conventional T2-weighted magnetic resonance edema imaging is limited by low spatial resolution.
