Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a global common disease which 33.5 million individuals suffer from. Conventional cardiac magnetic resonance and 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging have been used to study AF patients. We propose a left ventricular flow component analysis from 4D flow for AF detection. This method was applied to healthy controls and AF patients before catheter ablation. Retained inflow, delayed ejection, and residual volume had a significant difference between controls and the AF group as well as a conventional LV stroke volume parameter, and among them, residual volume was the strongest parameter to detect AF.
