Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a complex heart disease of epidemic proportions. It is characterized by chaotic electrical activation which creates a haemodynamic environment prone to clot formation and an increase in risk of ischemic strokes. Although treatments and interventions exist to reduce stroke incidence, they often imply an increase in...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a complex cardiac disease impact-ing an ever-growing population and increases 6-fold the risk of thrombusformation. However, image based bio-markers to predict thrombosis inpresence of AF are not well known. This lack of knowledge comes fromthe difficulty to analyse and compare the shape of the Left Atrium (LA)as...

BACKGROUND Markers of left atrial (LA) shape may improve the prediction of postablation outcomes in atrial fibrillation (AF). Correlations to LA volume and AF persistence limit their incremental value over current clinical predictors. OBJECTIVE To develop a shape score independent from AF persistence and LA volume using shape-based statistics,...
