FIGURE 1. LGE Enhancement Is Associated With Low Regional Strain
(A) Reformatted 3-dimensional late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) volumes show LGE enhancement (left) located in sites of low strain (right) in 2 atrial fibrillation subjects. Strain (in %) is color-coded. (B) Using receiver-operating characteristic analysis, strain <16% best predicts LGE enhancement (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.66, p = 0.11, not significant).
