Left Ventricular Flow Distribution as a Novel Flow Biomarker in Atrial Fibrillation

Introduction: Four-dimensional (4-D) flow cardiac magnetic resonance imaging can be used to elegantly describe the hemodynamic efficiency of left ventricular (LV) flow throughout the cardiac cycle. Patients with nonvalvular paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) may have occult LV disease. Flow distri...
