Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Surgery - DE-MRI

DE-MRI - All patients will undergo Delayed-Enhancement Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DE-MRI)to quantify the degree of atrial structural remodeling or fibrosis pre-ablation and DE-MRI will be obtained at 3, 6, and 12 months follow-up to detect and quantify ablation-related scar formation.


Treatment: Surgery: DE-MRI
Using Delayed-Enhancement Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DE-MRI) to identify fibrotic and scarred cardiac tissue. DE-MRI is a non-invasive method of identifying the extent and the distribution of structural remodeling or fibrosis and scarring associated with atrial fibrillation both pre- and post-ablation.
