## Abstract ## Background and Objective Focal sources of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation may be treatable by electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins from the left atrium. A new fiberoptic balloon catheter was tested as an alternative to radiofrequency catheter ablation for creation of circumfer
## Abstract ## Purpose To prospectively determine the most reproducible approach for leftβatrial size assessment using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in patients with atrial fibrillation and its value for prediction of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) treatment success. ## Material
