Mitral Annular Plane Systolic Excursion (MAPSE) as a Predictor of Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence in Patients after Pulmonary Vein Isolation by Jan Alatic, David Suran, Damijan Vokac, Franjo Husam Naji

“…Catheter ablation (CA) with pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has become widely used in the past years for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). Mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) is the parameter that measures left ventricular longitudinal function, and it appears to be a good early marker of LV dysfunction. …”
