Abstract

Advances in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) techniques and image acquisition have made it an excellent tool in the assessment of atrial myopathy. Remolding of the left atrium is the mainstay of atrial fibrillation (AF) development and its progression. CMR can detect phasic atrial volumes, atrial function, and atrial fibrosis using cine, and contrast-enhanced or non-contrast-enhanced images. These abilities make CMR a versatile and extraordinary tool in management of patients with AF including for risk stratification, ablation prognostication and planning, and assessment of stroke risk. We review the latest advancements in utility of CMR in management of patients with AF.

Keywords: Atrial fibrillation; Cardiac MRI; Cardiac magnetic resonance.
