✦ Synopsis

We have developed a novel high temporal resolution magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and image analysis method to quantify vorticity patterns in the left atrium (LA). Our data demonstrates the formation and evolution of atrial vortices during ventricular systole and ventricular diastasis period.
