Comparison of end-diastolic versus end-systolic cardiac-computed tomography reconstruction interval in patient's prior to pulmonary vein isolation.

Purpose: Aim of the study was to investigate diagnostic accuracy of cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) between left ventricular end-systolic (LVES) and left ventricular end-diastolic (LVED) cardiac phase for thrombus detection in patient's prior to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI).

Materials And Methods: 182 consecutive Patients with drug refractory AF scheduled for PVI (62.6% male, mean age 64.
