Evaluation of left atrium indices among high heart rate and heart rate variability patients with advancement in computed tomography technology: The CONVERGE registry.
Conclusion: Misalignments and motion artifacts of CCTA images affects the CT diagnostic performance especially in patients with elevated heart rates or profound arrhythmia. However, the new generation Revolution CCTA provides the detailed LA complex morphology and function in HiHR and AFib patients in addition to coronary anatomy without additional radiation, scanning or contrast requirements.
