ABSTRACT
Catheter ablation is increasingly utilized to treat patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Despite progress in technology and procedural strategy, there remain significant limitations with suboptimal outcomes. The role of imaging has continued to evolve, and multimodality imaging now presents an important opportunity to make substantial progress in the safety and efficacy of ablation. In this review, we discuss the history of imaging in the ablation of AF with a specific focus on the ability of cardiac computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging to characterize anatomy, arrhythmogenic substrate, and guide ablation strategy. We will review the progress that has been made and highlight many of the limitations as well as future directions for the field.
