PURPOSE: In this study, we try to consider the most common type of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection and established a machine learning-based prediction model for postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction by using clinical data and CT imag...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate left atrial shape differences on CT scans of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with (AF+) versus without (AF-) post-ablation recurrence and whether these shape differences predict AF recurrence.

BACKGROUND: Non-pulmonary vein (NPV) trigger has been reported as an important predictor of recurrence post-atrial fibrillation ablation. Elimination of NPV triggers can reduce the recurrence of postablation atrial fibrillation. Deep learning was app...

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is an effective treatment strategy for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but many experience AF recurrence and require repeat ablation procedures. The goal of this study was to develop and evaluate a m...
Late gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (LGE MRI) appears to be a promising alternative for scar assessment in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Automating the quantification and analysis of atrial scars can be challenging due to...
BACKGROUND: No data exist on comparisons of efficacy, safety, and recurrence risk factors of paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation using robotic magnetic navigation system (MNS), respectively.
Inflammation, oxidative stress, myocardial injury biomarkers and clinical parameters (longer AF duration, left atrial enlargement, the metabolic syndrome) are factors commonly related to AF recurrence. This study aims to assess the predictive value o...
