State-of-the-Art CT Imaging of the Left Atrium

Abstract: Purpose of the Review Cardiac computed tomography (CT) angiography with its high spatial and temporal resolution is a robust anatomical imaging tool. Beyond coronary artery examination in suspected coronary artery disease, cardiac CT is a helpful modality to depict cardiac morphology in surgical and percutaneous structural interventions planning. Conditions related to the left atrium are diverse; therefore, the importance of CT imaging is becoming more frequent. Recent Findings Latest technological advancement… Show more

“…ICE is an invasive and expensive procedure, most commonly used to assist in performing a transseptal puncture for left atrial RFCA (28, 29). The ability of contrast-enhanced CT to detect LAA thrombus has been confirmed by several studies and metaanalyses (26,27,30). On the other hand, it is associated with radiation exposure, contrast allergy, and the worsening of chronic kidney disease that is often associated with atrial fibrillation (31).…”

“…Data from the 71 enrolled patients [age 65 (57-72) years, 38% female] were collected and analyzed. Fifty-two percent of patients had paroxysmal AF, the BMI was 28 (26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32) kg/m 2 , and 77% had hypertension. Two point eight percent of them had a prior stroke or TIA.…”

“…RGCT can be indicated for pre-procedural planning in cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) and is clinically indicated in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for valvular sizing ( 13 ). The high CT spatial resolution enables RGCT to produce high-fidelity 4D (3D + time) images of the complex LA anatomy ( 14 ). Therefore, in this study, we hypothesise that RGCT with FT can be used to provide a detailed regional estimation of 3D LA mechanics.…”
