Figure 2From: Lower left atrial strain in the presence of regional atrial fibrosis: an MRI study of patients with atrial fibrillationReformatted 3D LGE volumes show regional enhancement which corresponds to regional low strain. A-B) Arrows show corresponding regions of LGE and low-strain in two AF subjects. C). The strain in LGE in enhanced regions was lower than in non-enhanced areas (14 ± 11% in LGE enhanced vs. 20 ± 12% in non LGE enhanced regions, p = 0.007).Back to article page
